> It will not be the magsafe of old. I could see them making a magsafe adapter similar to the iphone’s, that snaps onto the back of the screen on either side.
What would even be the point of something like that? It makes no sense, and would introduce a lot of unneeded complexity and inefficiency.
Wireless charging only really makes sense on the bottom of devices. The value proposition is to give you a place to easily set the thing down and get power. Wireless charging for a laptop would mean the "antenna" is on the bottom of the machine, which you place on a desk-sized charging pad.
But then you would be back to the problem of a yank on the power cord throwing the laptop on the floor. At least with usb c you have a chance that it unplugs. With a bottom charging mat there’s no chance. What would be the point?
