Read more.Kickstarter project works around the £1K MacBook's glaring design error.
Wow, a piece of truly original, simple and brilliant design. Very impressed. But presumably does not overcome the problem that USB port is also the charging port so cannot use when charging?
Can't see why not as it's a pass-thru?
Old puter - still good enuff till I save some pennies!
The design is 'ok' but maybe it's me but I'd personally rather see a device (ie the macbook) designed which didn't require adapters just to get fundamental usability.... yes yes I know the macbook is all about wireless connections but then they stick on a 3.5mm port for headphones instead of making people use bluetooth or even usb c type... they could have used that space for another usb c socket (and then sold a usb c to 3.5 adapter)... but wait that's likely their 2.0 model lol.
As per the FAQ, "Infinite" means "Six"
What is the thing on the end that looks like a square tennis ball?
it's a nice concept, but I'm not sure I have faith in it on the go, seems like a lot of pressure on that USB port

Got one myself.
Me personally, wouldn't like all those hanging off one USB port. Would annoy me tbh. Quite happy with my macbook, pretty sure I have 3 all in and only use 2 of them.
Cheers for that bud......
Curiosity - quenched
Why for the love of OCD, can they not make it look like a GOLF BALL instead of a TENNIS BALL?
WTF is wrong with people? WTF?
lol

Nice one xD I guess they never expect someone to use a mouse, keyboard, usb sound card, phone charger, USB modem, and...um, I can't think of a sixth item you'd normally use. So maybe it is infinite!
This is a solution to a problem that shouldn't exist... JUST PUT ANOTHER PORT ON THE LAPTOP
Dads birthday present sorted!
Umm.. flash drive?Nice one xD I guess they never expect someone to use a mouse, keyboard, usb sound card, phone charger, USB modem, and...um, I can't think of a sixth item you'd normally use. So maybe it is infinite!
That price...
Yeah no thanks
Surely the price isn't an issue if you can afford the machine its aimed at?
Can someone explain to me with the bus nature of USB how they're able to make it just "pass through" without interfering with another connected devices data stream? Those look a little small to have frequency modulators and the only way I can think of is that they're using a timing circuit to prevent data clashes?
Oh and on top of that, unless each extra IUSB connection just shows as another connectible port, then I know for a fact windows will bork out unless they have a special driver that works with this modular system.
This seems a little fantastical, but if they've managed it, fair enough.
