    Hey So I received my magsafe charger today. Soon as I opened it, I plugged it into a thunderbolt port on my 2020 13" MBP (I removed the charger and left in the USB bank I have).

    I recently purchased a customized MBP. (2017 13in nTB space grey with an i7, 512 SSD, 16GB of RAM) It looks as though the score is higher than almost every 2017 13in TB MBP. It doesn't make sense. https://browser.primatelabs.com/v4/cpu/3245525 I came from a mid 2012 non retina 15in...
