Microsoft's Surface Laptop Ultra brings back magnetic USB-C charging

Original: Microsoft’s Surface Laptop Ultra has built-in magnetic USB-C charging Microsoft has created a magnetic charging solution

Microsoft has reportedly built a magnetic charging solution into its Surface Laptop Ultra that works over standard USB-C. The move comes after the company phased out its proprietary Surface Connect magnetic charging on smaller Surface devices last year. The design combines the convenience of magnetic attachment with the universal USB-C standard, and tech observers are weighing in on whether this marks a return of a beloved feature.

Why now: The combination of magnetic charging with universal USB-C is a novel hardware design choice that revived discussion after Microsoft dropped Surface Connect.
