Hey guys in your opinion what laptop (not apple) has the best charging port?

probably any magsafe charging port that is mounted on the chassis so that thing like pushed in ports don't happen.
>>58637473
Modern Lenovo laptops, with the flat rectangular plug. Harder to fall out, and soldered directly to the board so less likely to get pushed in.

you say not apple, but there is really no good charging ports besides apple's. this is objectively comming from someone who takes a wide angle around apple products.

Flat plug is the shit. I have one with it and was honestly surprised they did that. It's almost perfect. That being said, I bought another one and it doesn't have it so I don't think it's a product line wide feature.
Also, new mid to low end lenovos quite literally have the worst speakers I've ever heard in a laptop. We're talking single speaker, under the trackpad, sounds like a teddy ruxpin bad.

>not using headphones

Actually the headphones sound just as bad. Which I don't quite understand. Bluetooth headphones sound just fine but plugged headphones and the speaker sound disgusting. I actually took it back and asked the sales guy if I could hear the floor model in case I just got a bad one and he said "oh, the sound? It's terrible". Same issue with the floor model. I got one with a different chassis and it's all good. Salesman said they've had a ridiculous amount of returns for this reason.

Just plugged mine in. The feeling is so satisfying and it feels very sturdy.
Also, relatively compact.

>Not using a portable dac
The circle ones are shit. They degrade so quickly. if I could waste a USB port to charge my laptop I would in a heartbeat.

> Not bringing around a turntable and full sound system with them wherever they go.
Are you retarded?

The key word here is "portable". What's wrong with having good sound that doesn't bother others vs blasting sound out of your laptop like an idiot.
Are you retarded?

Bought a Lenovo in January 2015, the rectangular plug that came with it is getting bent, I'm gonna give it a few months before it gives. Luckily, I get an extra charger for my Thinkpad at work, so I'll just use that instead.

USB-C is awesome.

Apple, you can fuck off with your exclusion criteria, people hate apple and there are good reasons to, but that charging port is the best.

my thinkpad x220 has a weird charging port. its like its not soldered to anything.. it just sits there and moves if i bend the cable too much
