I wonder if that pop open 8P8C/RJ45 Ethernet jack is a custom design, or something one can buy from a major interconnect manufacturer? I have to say it's nice

I have to say it's nice to see a hardware 1000baseT port on a laptop. Last time I saw one of these pop open ports, I think it was one of these...

- intsunny 6y agoI'm against laptops with physically moving ethernet jacks. Moving parts are often the first to fail leading to unhappy users and warranty headaches. I also enjoy dongle adapters because I have complete control over the chipset being used. (And can avoid Realtek entirely...)
