Lenovo opens its Magic Bay modular laptop ecosystem to third-party device makers

Lenovo shipped more PCs than any other company last year, with many of those laptop and desktop computers aimed at customers in the business and education space who are looking for reliable, durable computers.

But Lenovo is also a company that makes weird laptops that push the boundaries of what we can expect from a mobile computer. For example, laptops with rollable displays, motorized […]

Qi2 should have it's own Wikipedia article

Google should come up with a solution to fix the heat and inefficiency issues related to magnetic battery packs. I have a suggestion:

A magnetic powerbank+phone case that go beyond magsafe to bring energy directly from a magnetic battery into the phone via a hybrid approach.

Imagine a battery pack with a few pogo pins embedded around its magsafe ring that could pair with an phone case that has the matching contact pads, along with a wire embedded in the case that goes from the magsafe ring into the phone's usbc port.

Energy from the battery pack could flow directly into the usbc port of the phone, without loose wires, giving both the benefit of a magsafe connection (pocketable, easily removed when not needed, backwards compatible with qi2, works with magnetic accessories like phone grips, car mounts, wallets, etc), along with the benefits of direct contact energy transfer (no loss of energy and much better thermal management). Something like this could handle 25 watts easily, and probably a lot more.

what if there was a battery pack with pogo pins aligned around its magsafe ring that could pair with a phone case that also had the matching contact pads, along with a wire that transferred power directly up into a phone's usbc port, so that, when the magsafe battery pack with pogo pins magnetically attached to the corresponding phone case, it would send power directly into the usbc port of the phone, giving both the benefit of a magsafe connection (pocketable and wireless), along with the benefits of direct contect energy transfer (almost no loss of energy, and improved thermals)

could something like this help address the general wireless charging issue?

wouldn't magsafe (especially battery packs) benefit from a version that uses exposed pogo pins to transfer power directly instead of wirelessly?

Does anyone know of a good and affordable alternative to pogo pins with solder cups?
