This is clever, and most welcome – one of the things that’s been irking me about the new MacBook lineup and the companion 24” display is the Mini DisplayPort connector, which makes it a pretty bad investment to buy both. Now, what if some enterprising PC manufacturer adopted this for their laptops as well? Hmm?

Update: A little more than a year later, the draft spec was approved by VESA.
