AC is converted to DC and dropped in the casing where thick cable
meets thin cable. The Mac does not see AC at all.

Hello,
That’s interesting. My 2012 model has a figure of 8 lead. i.e. It is fed 240V
whereas, I’m guessing the voltage is dropped externally. Or does the magsafe
deliver mains voltage?
As you suggest the Mini is a great little machine.

Hi Scott.
A few months ago I went to the Apple store with my father as I convinced him to
purchase the 7 Plus I phone which he did.
After that was done, I went to look at the most expensive Apple watch which i
liked but wasn't going to spend that kind of money to get the Apple watch but
may get an apple watch next time if the third Gen is better than the second Gen.
Anyway, I went to have a look at the Macbook Air with the touch bar on it. I
thought it was a bit crap as I knew it wouldn't have the Mac Safe plug on it.
I love my I Mac and MacMini as both have the Mac Safe plug. I hate it that
Apple seem to be getting rid of their Macsafe stuff. I don't know when I will
purchase another Apple computer as both my computers are going strong and as
long as I can run the latest software on them then it's just fine for me.
However, one of these days we won't be able to run the latest software so then
it will be time to buy another IMac and MacMini as I love both set ups! When
ever I do that, I'll max out the memory and Gig of ram because I will be able
to!

I hate to say this about apple but I’m not going to give someone a pass where
it’s not deserved either. I’ve been using a 2016 latest model laptop with the
touch bar and finger print censor now for several weeks and I need to say, I
hate it. That’s something I thought I wouldn’t say but the fact is I do.
Reasons are as follows.
The touch bar triggers when your fingers are on the row of physical
keys below. The finger print censor also triggers Siri and also fires when you
touch the keys below. You also end up starting Siri when you want to start or
stop voice over.
The light bar doesn’t work the same in virtual machines as it does on
the Mac proper.
The ports are a joke. Everything is USB-C which renders all my
previous adapters and connectors useless. The power cable now uses USB-C
instead of mag safe (which I like better). The lightning ports on all the
phones and other devices feel just like USB-C with a slight size difference so
I’m for ever using the wrong cable on the wrong port. All your included cables
with your devices are USB 3.0 the older standard and don’t fit in the USB-C
port, you can get adapters but they aren’t included.
While I like the lightning port for headphones now instead of 3.5 MM
jack, the new laptop doesn’t include a lightning port so you have to use
different headphones.
The things I do like are the battery life is very good, it’s very fast
and the new processors do very well running virtual images. But it’s just not
fun to use. My mid 2015 model is so much more enjoyable to type on and all my
cables work. Apple your laptops this year are a miss in my opinion. I won’t
go back to windows but I bet I could be convinced to try chrome books or
something else.
