MagSafe 3 or USB C

From what I've read so far, it seems that MagSafe is merely faster at charging than USB C.
However, I currently use a MBP 2019, with USB C, and all my accessories work with it fine. Would it not be better to merely stick with a USB C MBP, versus a MagSafe one?

Was thinking of upgrading my MBP 2019. Hence, the conversation/question...

You should probably do some more research since the difference between a 2019 MBP and the new model with MagSafe is an entirely new CPU created by Apple instead of Intel

Understood. I think I was/am initially concerned with the power connection.

Your accessories will work fine with the new model too. For power, it's your choice–use MagSafe or stick with USB-C as you do now.

MagSafe doesn't offer any faster charging except when you use >100W charger with MBP 16. Under all other conditions, USB-C offers the same speed as MagSafe.
