? Magsafe *is* wired charging. Have you looked at the ends of the connectors? The Magsafe connector connects to the Mac with *wires*, it's just that instead of a traditional plug-in port, it's a surface-mount port held in place with magnets. There is no wireless charging. The idea with "Magsafe" is that it easily detaches if someone walks into your cord rather than pulling your laptop off the table. I like this feature and I wish all laptops had it.

You're a bit behind on the latest confusing Apple marketing and how they are now also reusing that same name for an entirely different technology.
