We finally touched Thunderbolt 5 and Qi2 (but not meaningfully).

Here at CES 2024, Hyper, J5Create, and Belkin have items on display with the latest in docking and magnetic charging technology — but sadly, none of it is plugged in. Maybe because we’re still waiting on Windows laptops and Android phones to adopt the tech. (There’s nothing to dock yet, right?)

I’m seriously looking forward to 240W charging and 120Gbps speeds from my USB-C ports, though, not to mention a “MagSafe for Android.”

<em>J5Create’s Thunderbolt 5 Dual 8K60 Display. </em>
<em>It offers 140W charging, not 240W charging, but does support 120Gbps of bandwidth and apparently fits an NVMe SSD.</em>
<em>Full specs for the J5Create. I didn’t see a price but I’ll ask.</em>
<a href="https://www.hypershop.com/products/hyperdrive-next-thunderbolt-5-dock’"><em>Hyper’s Next Thunderbolt 5 Dock</em></a> appears to be $400. It’s got up to 120Gbps data speeds as well and also has room for an NVMe SSD inside.
<em>The front, with two of the three TBT5 ports.</em>
<em>Here’s the NVMe slot.</em>
<em>Belkin’s Q2 charger folds down into a little puck.</em>
<em>The first of Hyper’s two Qi2 chargers.</em>
