After scrapping its proprietary Surface Connect magnetic charging on its smaller Surface devices last year, the Surface Laptop Ultra has a charging cable that attaches magnetically to the right-side USB-C port.It\u2019s still a proprietary solution, but the USB-C port it slots into still works for video, data, and other USB-C connectivity like you\u2019d expect. Microsoft is calling it Magnetic Connect, and I\u2019m surprised the company hasn\u2019t shortened that to Mag-C.Microsoft announced its Surface Laptop Ultra earlier this year, which comes equipped with Nvidia\u2019s RTX Spark chip.Developing\u2026 follow our live blog for more coverage from Microsoft\u2019s Windows and Surface eventFollow topics and authors from this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates.Tom WarrenGadgetsLaptopsMicrosoftNewsTechMost PopularXbox has secured GTA 6 streaming rightsHBO Max and Paramount Plus will merge into a single streamer under SkydanceApple and LG team up on new smart home gear, starting with a lock, doorbell, and thermostatOpenAI drops another batch of mathematical breakthroughsThe best October Prime Day tech deals we foundAdvertiser Content FromThis is the title for the native ad<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
