Verdict: A good everyday charger if you want one small brick that fast-charges a phone and can also power a tablet or a small laptop. It has one port, so it charges one device at a time.
Good for
- Travel: the foldable plug and compact GaN design fit easily in a bag
- Fast-charging recent iPhones, Pixels and Samsung phones (it supports Samsung Super Fast Charging)
- Tablets and lightweight laptops that charge over USB-C at 45W or less
Skip it if
- You need to charge two or more devices at once; get a multi-port charger
- Your laptop needs more than 45W to charge at full speed (many gaming and 16-inch laptops do)
