HOT ITEM: Dell Latitude Z - Wireless Charging Laptop
Came across a recent article on the web about Dell Latitude Z. And curiosity starts now. But of course, I have to see it, feel it and touch it personally. Will do a research on its advent here in the Philippines.
The system works a lot like your electric toothbrush. A special dock (available as a $200 option) has a coil of wire inside that matches up with a coil on the bottom of the Latitude Z.

Dell says it is no slower to charge this way than through plug-in power (a standard plug is also available when you're on the road and away from the dock). Getting the laptop situated just-so on the dock so that the two coils are in contact didn't seem as easy as it should be, but overall I found the innovation to be decisively cool. [Read More]
