- Khao 13y agoI think it's one of the best selling point for that Chromebook so far! It's so annoying to have to carry an extra power supply for a tiny portable laptop like the previous generation Chromebooks.
- bergie 13y agoThat is awesome (though may make charging slow). I hate carrying multiple different chargers around.
- freehunter 13y agoI have a ThinkPad Tablet 2 that charges over microUSB and it's very slow. 6 hours from the USB vs 2 hours from the charger on the docking station.
- bluedino 13y agoYou're assuming someone has micro-USB devices and a charger already. If you have an iPhone/iPad you might not. If Apple ever comes out with a MacBook Air powered by ARM they better use the Lightning connector.
- joefarish 13y agoYeah that looks awesome - just get a folding plug and then no more bulky chargers! https://www.themu.co.uk https://www.themu.co.uk
- oftenwrong 13y agoKiller feature for travel. Not only is this thing extremely light (lighter than the small air and zenbook), but you can save weight and space with a small usb charger and cable. Even if it is slower, that is a decent trade-off. I wonder if you can charge devices from the USB ports. With that and the fanless design, IPS display, etc. This is looking pretty good. If could run a "real" linux distro without the hacks, it would be awesome. EDIT: Although it has very few ports (no ethernet, HDMI) and a glossy screen, so that sucks
