Gloven RamosWireless technology is almost in every device today, like wireless speaker and wireless charging. In the recent CES 2017, Dell showcased a laptop with wireless charging technology, the Latitude 7285.
The Dell Latitude 7285 is a 2-in-1 laptop computer with detachable screen attached to a keyboard base. Based on the AirFuel Alliance's emerging wireless PC charging standard, the Latitude has been the first ever wireless charging laptop.
For wireless charging, Dell Latitude 7285 laptop can be charge by putting the keyboard dock on the wireless charging mat. This way of charging is similar to smartphone with the same technology today, but this laptop is a bigger device compared to a handset.
