I don’t know if anyone here already thought this up but I had an idea some time ago:
What if Apple produced a Power Supply much like the one that accompanies the MacBookPro 16” but that suplies the maximum USB PD3.1 spec allows of power (240W) and at the same time contains a gigabit/2.5GB/10GB ethernet connection much alike the power supply that is optional with the iMac24”.
The same USB-C cable connected to the power supply would carry power (up to 240W) and data (the maximum speed allowed by Thunderbolt standard, at least 20-40GB) to the computer that used that Power Supply!
Any Apple Computer that doesn’t need more than 240W to work would benefit a lot (like the new MacMini, iMac24”, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro,…) and only one cable would go to the computer! We could have this as an option when buying a new Apple computer and sold also as an acessory!
What do you think?
