People have strong feelings about the things they plug into and sync up with their devices. Keyboards. Headphones. USB-C this and that. Even the humble power cord.

That’s evident in a little debate between CNET’s Dan Ackerman and Ian Sherr that popped up this week. Dan got things going with a commentary on how he’s less than thrilled about rumors Apple may bring back the MagSafe connector for MacBooks. Ian responded with a hearty rebuttal, lauding “one of the most important quirky features” Apple ever built into its laptops — and then took away.

That’s just for starters among the in-depth features and thought-provoking commentaries that appeared on CNET this week. So here you go. These are the stories you don’t want to miss:
