Re: Race over? I doubt it
"I still struggle to picture widespread usage scenarios where wireless charging for a laptop is more practical than wired though."
Same as the scenario for phones - build it into couches, desks and coffee tables. Put your laptop on the table and it tops itself off. Especially useful when you have laptops plugged in under your desk and the exec using it doesn't want to get down on the floor to unplug it before he goes home; the number of requests we get for a 'spare' charger to take home forever is appalling.
