How has a product that is nothing but a series of renders from an unknown company garnered this much attention?

The headline seems custom designed to anger the Hacker News crowd. Wouldn’t a real product advertise it’s thinness or lightness rather than it’s lack of ports?

Yeah, this seems fake - even the exploded cross section of the charger makes no sense - it just looks like a Qi charging coil - how is actual data going to be transferred - especially high bandwidth protocols like USB C and Thunderbolt? Someone who is an actual electrical engineer can chime in, but I highly doubt that you can transfer data and charge over the same coils at the same time.

There's not even a pre-order button... seems more like a university art project than even a company looking to pre-validate demand.
