Now imagine how great life would be if they could also run power through it (PoE style) so you could avoid plugging the laptop [directly] into the wall as well.

Now imagine how great life would be if they could also run power through it (PoE style) so you could avoid plugging the laptop [directly] into the wall as well. One plug and done is a pretty compelling reason to forgo [1] the desktop altogether. [1] fun (completely unrelated) fact: forgo and forego are both words with pretty dissimilar meanings (to omit and to precede, respectively). I discovered this only because I was unsure of the spelling, but it's sufficiently surprising (to me) that I felt the need to share.
