I’ve been playing around with my home office setup. I have multiple laptops to manage (thanks work) and a handful of personal devices. I would love to stop playing the “does this charging brick put out enough juice for this device” game.
I have:
- 1x 100W Laptop
- 1x 60W Laptop
- 1x 30W Router
- 1x 30W Phone
- 2x raspberry pis
I’ve been looking at multi-device bricks like this UGREEN Nexode 200W but hoped someone might know of a similar product for less than $130.
I’ve also seen things like these, but they just miss the mark for my use case.
- Shargeek S140: $80, >100W peak delivery for one device, but drops below that as soon as a second device is plugged in.
- 200W Omega: at $140 it’s a bit too steep. Plus it doesn’t have enough ports for me. For these reasons, I’m out.
If you’ve read this far, thanks for caring! You’re why this corner of the internet is so fun. I hope you have a wonderful day.
For anybody just casually interested but with lesser needs than OP, I bought a 65W supply to replace a phone charger I forgot at a hotel and I’ve been very happy with it. Don’t just buy a single port replacement if you fuck up at check out like I did lol. Here’s what I bought: https://a.co/d/2TKDE2G and it’s $40 right now.
It has 3 ports total, 2 USB C and 1 USB A. The only issue is that it doesn’t come with cables, so I also bought a 3 pack of 2m USB C to USB C cables. No complaints.
