It's a feature not a bug. I'm sure there's some device out there, or maybe they sell a laptop stand to go with this.The Tee Daught wrote: ↑ That's why it's 7 bucks.

even more of a reason not to have screw hole, you don't want to drag your laptop to the floor!AllanT232 wrote: ↑ most likely computers or laptops that are powered by usb c instead of the regular laptop power plug
the screw lock is prob so you don't trip on the cable and power down your laptop while working on like a several page essay or something.
but ive never seen a laptop with the screw hole tho

Unless you've taken the battery out or that it's completely dead, most laptops will be just fine if you disconnect the power momentarily. Also, I'd be more concerned about dragging the entire laptop onto the floor if my power cable was screwed in. There's a reason why Macbooks and Surfaces (at least on older models) used magnetic connectors on their power cables.AllanT232 wrote: ↑ most likely computers or laptops that are powered by usb c instead of the regular laptop power plug

This is a bad idea. I'd much rather the cable break off then to drag my laptop down to the ground.Nikhilvoid wrote: ↑ It's a feature not a bug. I'm sure there's some device out there, or maybe they sell a laptop stand to go with this.

They're saying it will reduce strain on the cable.

I have a surface pro and surface laptop. Do you know if that was really a factor behind the design?ShinNoodles wrote: ↑ Unless you've taken the battery out or that it's completely dead, most laptops will be just fine if you disconnect the power momentarily.

I'm pretty sure it was a consideration in the design. Magnetic connectors are used to achieve a couple of things: 1. make it easier to connect; user don't have to know precisely where the plug is, the magnet usually takes care of that. 2. prevent wear/tear/damage of the connector from users forcing the connector in. 3. disconnects relatively easily if someone trips/yanks the cable.
