Laptops have quickly become increasingly mobile-friendly but this has come at the expense of connectivity ports and the like, so the conceptual Braun MP01 has been created as a dongle to counteract this.
Designed by Ja Heon Lee, the unit features a see-through design that reveals an external SSD to further accentuate the visual language of the device. A light bar on the exterior will visually communicate how much space is left on the drive to let users feel more connected to it when using it at the office, at home or out in the world.
The conceptual Braun MP01 also features a total of four USB ports (two type A and two type C) along with an SD card slot to transform a single laptop port into a multifunctional connection.
