I was having trouble with the older magsafes on the air, as if the contacts were just not contacting, and that's a problem.

And wtf did they change the design? I now have six or more adapters, two new and four old, and one Magsafe 1 to Magsafe 2 adapter device, much smarter than spending $70 for a second one.

Anyway, my older magsafes fall off all the time on the air, but the magsafe2 hardly ever comes off.

Maybe the new design has stronger magnets?

OBTW, I got water on the keyboard of the air, popped it in rice and it was ok for a while, then the power switch stopped working.

The power button is broken and can't be replaces separately and was going to cost hundreds to replace the top just because of the water but I found a way to crack open the case and jumper the power button.

But now I need to be sure it's left on and charged up all the time.

That's the breaks, I guess.

HEY, have you seen the new macbook?
