CES 2017: Wireless charging comes to laptops courtesy of Dell's Latitude 7285

Las Vegas - Wireless charging has been around for half a decade on various smartphones but never seemed to gain wider adoption, until now.

Dell's new Latitude 7285 2-in-1 notebook. This detacheable notebook doubles as a table and has a keyboard base which charges wirelessly when paired with Dell's charging pad.

Kudos to Dell, who is aiming to launch this in May, for getting creative with charging solutions.
