I usually despise concept work, but this is fantastic. They appear to have worried about all of the real issues: manufacturing, assembly, the fuse.
The sad reality is that I don't think it is enough better than an existing plug to warrant the effort.
- scott_s 17y agoI can see Apple jumping on something like this - this solves more of a real problem than the magnetic connector does. (Albeit for a smaller market.)
- radu_floricica 17y agoThere's a good chance that if Apple considers it a big enough problem they'll redesign it from scratch. But some less-original laptop company may want to try it just for having an edge. Especially for smaller ~10" laptops.
- tcdent 17y agoI'm not sure how much better you could expect it to get. It complies with the existing standard and reduces the footprint substantially. Everything the designer set out to accomplish. I also really like how it turns into it's own standard when collapsed and paired with the splitter.
- delano 17y agoDid you see the end of the video? The multiplug is pretty rad.
- hapless 17y agoIt's surely better enough to warrant an effort. The question is whether it's enough better to license their patent. :)
