Lenovo has announced a new product called the Go Wireless Charging Kit, which lets you retrofit wireless charging functionality to a wide variety of laptops. It makes use of \u201cPower by Contact\u201d technology from Energy Square, rather than the more common Qi standard.<\/p>\n
The kit consists of a 3.2mm-thick brushed metal charging mat that you plug into the wall and leave at your desk, as well as a long wireless charging receiver that attaches to the base of your laptop and connects over USB-C. Once set up, Lenovo says it should charge most 13-inch to 14-inch \u201cnon-touch notebooks of up to 65W\u201d with efficiency of 93 percent, and it\u2019ll work with both Windows and macOS devices. <\/p>\n
Wireless charging on laptops is pretty rare. Dell released what it called the world\u2019s first wirelessly charging 2-in-1, the Latitude 7285, in 2017, although it was more of a tablet that could be charged through a keyboard base. Intel also made efforts to integrate the Rezence magnetic resonance charging standard into its laptop specifications, but nothing was ever released commercially.<\/p>\n
Lenovo will release the Go Wireless Charging Kit in October for $139.99. It\u2019s part of a new range of Go-branded mobile accessories including a Qi-equipped power bank, wireless mice, headphones, and keyboards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
