Inductive chargers then? Surely the current crop of barrel jacks can be improved upon in some way without violating a patent. Barrel jack plugs just suck.

- dpark 15y agoInductive chargers would be awesome for docks, but don't seem very useful for mobile use. Setting an inductive charger down and then placing a laptop on it means that a pulled cord still drags the laptop with it. Unless inductive chargers have gotten a lot better, they need to basically be in contact with the laptop, so having a separate device just sitting near the laptop would be inefficient (unless I'm wrong about this, in which case an inductive charging cube would be awesome). I agree that it seems PC laptops should have some way of improving the power connection. The status quo is crappy.
