Microsoft introduces Magnetic Connect USB-C charging on Surface Laptop Ultra
Microsoft has unveiled Magnetic Connect, a magnetic charging system for the Surface Laptop Ultra that connects directly to a standard right-side USB-C port.
Microsoft has developed a magnetic charging solution called Magnetic Connect for its Surface Laptop Ultra. The system uses a charging cable that attaches magnetically to the USB-C port located on the right side of the device.
The solution relies on a proprietary cable design, but the host USB-C port retains full functionality for video output, data transfer, and standard USB-C connectivity. The hardware change follows Microsoft's decision to drop its proprietary Surface Connect port on smaller Surface models last year.
The Surface Laptop Ultra, which was introduced earlier this year, comes equipped with Nvidia's RTX Spark chip and was featured during Microsoft's Windows and Surface event.
