Microsoft created a magnetic USB-C port, and you need to see it for yourself
Microsoft just debuted its own take on MagSafe, which also functions as a regular USB-C port.
Microsoft has introduced a magnetic USB-C port on the Surface Laptop Ultra, a new addition to its laptop lineup. The feature is dubbed "Magnetic Connect" and is touted as the first built-in magnetic USB-C port on a laptop. While third-party vendors have similar solutions, they are not integrated into the device. Apple's MagSafe mechanism, which employs magnets, does not utilize USB-C, making Microsoft's claim more compelling.
Despite the innovative magnetic feature, the Surface Laptop Ultra is priced at a high $2,599, potentially deterring some consumers.
