Yeah, the connector they've made is absolutely bananas, wonder what they were thinking? Was there a 3rd-party docking ecosystem they were expecting to be spawned by this, or something? The magnetic connector by itself makes no sense, unless I severely misunderstand how it's supposed to be used in practice.
I saw a claim that the connector was to reduce the thickness of the device.
Terrible trade-off. I do not want a marginally smaller book if it means I have to worry about losing a proprietary cable.
