To the sucsess of the MagStay Pro finding its niche crowd, wire.com posted their angle of this product and how it is not for everyone but for some. Finding these niche groups is part of our business plan:

. . . Style and function are always at the forefront; therefore, products with not as broad a range are given the same energy and effort as those that are produced in high quantities. When a product does something simple and useful for a select few, but performs well, it is greatly appreciated. While we realize that certain merchandise may have a smaller focus, all product development is given equal attention. Our simplistic, yet elegant products are designed with a specific goal in mind, leaving no detail too small for any consumer. . .

We understand this product may not be for you, but is for some. How do you feel about a company that is willing to weed through the ridicule of product development when it is not understood for many, but is useful for a niche group. Leave your comments

Keep your MagSafe power plug clean by ZDNet’s David Morgenstern — Apple’s novel magnetic power adapter found on its Intel-based notebooks can keep a mobile Mac from spilling on the floor, but sometimes it needs some attention from users. Apple on Tuesday updated its technical documents on the care and cleaning of MacSafe connector.

I good review about MagStay PRO using a MacBook PRO without the battery.

The MagSafe power adapter is a fantastic feature of the new MacBook and MacBook Pros. It prevents accidents related to tripping over the power cord from happening because the magnetic adapter connector effortlessly disconnects from the portable. However, it also disconnects unintentionally sometimes when you’re on the bed or in some other “unusual” position that easily disconnects the connector. It is also not the best thing to have when you’re running without the battery (my MacBook Pro is a portable workstation; it always is plugged in at home. because it receives power 24/7, this kills the cells in the battery. in other words, as time goes on, the battery will be able to hold less charge). This is where the MagStay Pro comes into play. It is a fantastic device. It prevents the power connector from falling out accidentally, which is great for me (and possibly others) because as I had stated earlier, I use my system often without the battery installed.

I had become very interested in this gadget’s concept when I accidentally tripped over the wire while my MacBook Pro was running without the battery. It instantaneously shut down and all of my unsaved documents had vanished. However, while listening to an episode of the MacCast, Adam (the host) mentioned that his friend, Mike Talmage, was selling a product called the MagStay Pro for preventing the MagStay connector from falling out when someone tripped over the power cord. To promote his product, he was giving some out for free for MacBook Pro owners to review them.

After hearing about this good deal, I quickly requested one and it came in about two days. It came a small plastic container, but not like anything packaged by Apple. It was a snap to set up (it took no time). One had to insert it into the left USB port and then plug the MagSafe connector into the hole of the MagStay Pro. It does as advertised - when I yanked on the power cord the MagSafe connector refused to come out.

There is nothing wrong with the MagStay Pro; it defeats the purpose of the MagSafe connector. However, for those who need a persistent connector, the MagStay Pro is there for you.
