Connect CHARLIE Will Give You More USB Ports Than You’ll Need
You can never have too many USB ports, right? Then again, NINE ports might just be overkill.
If you’ve got a MacBook, though, you might already be jumping with joy at the mere thought of having a USB port – more so NINE!
No matter – whatever device(s) you use, an extra USB port is always welcome. Even if you don’t need it.
Enter Connect CHARLIE. The 12-in-1 power adapter with 9 USB ports and 3 outlets.
For realz.
Triangular in shape (with nice rounded edges instead of sharp tips), Connect CHARLIE can safely charge your devices with its built-in surge protector. And for aesthetics, its got an LED for a bit of light.
It is lightweight and compact – 5.9 ounces and 3.8 x 4.2 x 1.2 inches – so it can actually become a go-to device for traveling. (There’s a note about this later.) And since it’s not too pricey ($39.50), you can get one for at home and one for your bag.
Connect CHARLIE comes in White, Red, and Black.
Other specs:
- 3-prong adapter
- USA and Canada Rated Current: 15A Rated Voltage: 125V
- Max Power: 1250W USB Rating 5V (2.4A / Each)
About that note I mentioned earlier…there is a drawback: the adapter. It doesn’t fit into some sockets overseas, so if you’re a frequent traveler, you’ll need an extra adapter.
If you’re thinking “overkill” (like I did initially), why not think again and give it a go? Who knows? You might even make a friend (or eight) when you hang out at the coffee shop. Else, get it as a stocking stuffer for that person who always hogs the charging ports.
Here’s an explainer video.
