The goal is to eliminate all cords from home computers, allowing wireless display, docking, and charging features to roam free as part of its next-gen Skylake platform.

Intel would use the WiGig standard that with recent advances make it more feasible. Intel showed off a Rezence-equipped table that can wirelessly charge several devices at once. Rezence can charge various devices, each with different power requirements, on the same surface.

Peter Hortensius, Lenovo's CTO, said in a statement: "The ability to easily wirelessly charge a laptop, smartphone, or accessory marks a powerful shift, untangling us from the wires that have become a part of our everyday lives."

Kamil Grajski, president of the Alliance for Wireless Power stated that: "Wireless power is about more than charging a phone on a pad. Flexibility, in both power and placement, are key to expanding wireless charging beyond a niche. Extending Rezence to include laptops, tablets and peripherals is a necessary step towards a wire-free and universal charging experience for everyone."
