  • All right.

  • So have you been following the channel for a while, then?

  • You know, I've got a bizarre, strange enthusiasm around chargers, just chargers in general.

  • I find it unfortunate that not every product in 2020 charges over USB Type C because that's another thing that's important to me as if I'm traveling or if I have one laptop bag, I tryto trimmed down as many things as I need to carry.

  • So if I could have one charger for everything, that will be great.

  • But then it got me into the investigation.

  • It got me down the path of trying to find what that ultimate single charger would be, what it would look like for the record just straight out the gate.

  • This is not something that you're gonna need.

  • This is into the realm of upgrading something you probably already have.

  • So what we have here is a laptop charger.

  • I think the company's called serious, and they're claiming it's the smallest apple adapter on a planet.

  • Now what makes it an apple adapter?

  • Nothing really.

  • Other than the fact that it's capable of charging popular Apple laptops because it has a power output of 65 watts, but ultimately it's a USB see charger.

  • Oh, also, they included a type sito lightning cable.

  • So that's very apple ish of them as well, at 65 watts, smaller than any type C charger at 65 watts previously.

  • Smaller maybe not in every single dimension, but just the overall volume of it.

  • Because I did a video, of course, not that long ago attempting to find, well, this and I found the other product from energy, which is also super tiny, and there's probably not a huge reason to upgrade from that to this if you already had that, but now that this exists, you might gravitate towards this instead of that energy model.

  • The other thing I like about this versus the energy one is that it sits flush to the wall so it's not popping out or poking out with a lot of these chargers.

  • They sit so far out from the wall they can cause problems.

  • Obstacles.

  • And so that's another kind of thoughtful thing that exists in this particular design.

  • The type C to see CableACE six feet and the type seats.

  • A lightning cable is three feet, and they also say it's designed in Italy, so that immediately means it's amazing.

  • Now I hear you.

  • You're probably watching this saying, Lou, I'm not prepared to spend.

  • I believe this thing retails for around 80 bucks.

  • I'm not prepared to spend 80 bucks for a charger.

  • I already have.

  • I gotta charge with my laptop.

  • I'm not looking to replace it for a little bit of extra portability.

  • I hear you.

  • If this isn't your area of enthusiasm, if you're not trying to get the slimmest, if you're not trying to get the best version of something, that's a completely fair point.

  • But all of us have our strange interests.

  • And for me, one of them is kind of finding the ultimate version off each component that I might carry with me.

  • And this might very well be the ultimate charger.

  • And if so, then that will be a great find, as far as I'm concerned, even at 80 bucks.

  • All right.

  • So the first thing you see in a package are your cables.

  • Okay.

  • There you go.

  • There's some tape on the outside of it.

  • So this is the brick.

  • I obviously I would prefer it if they didn't have the branding all over it.

  • I love the fact that the prongs fold down.

  • Look at this.

  • That's a tiny little practice.

  • A laptop charger's a 65 watt capable charger in this tiny little package, and I don't know if I have Where do I have a power outlet on the wall?

  • We can do it over here.

  • If that's easy enough for Jack, imagine that this PowerBar is just a regular outlet in your house somewhere and you have this popped in there.

  • It is flush flush with the wall because I hate that moment when the thing gets knocked and the prongs get bent.

  • We've all had that experience.

  • The cables of included here are braided, so that's kind of a premium component as well.

  • This is the three foot toe lightning cable, so Type C into this end, and then this side can go into well, any lightning device that you have it could be airpods could be an iPhone.

  • This might attract people who wanna upgrade their iPhone charger if you have an iPhone, which is capable of fast charging, but it only shipped with a five watt charger that exists.

  • That's an actual reality for a number of people.

  • Now you're looking at Apple's dedicated charger, which is already kind of expensive.

  • And so then this might be attractive for you as well to look in this direction.

  • And then this is the longer cable.

  • This is likely the laptop cable even carry two laptops if you chose to PC and Mac.

  • And it's the same capable charger popping into the type seaport on either units as faras, all in one Chargers air concerned.

  • The best charger, the greatest charger on planet Earth.

  • This one is definitely in.

  • It's in the conversation now.

  • Maybe will can give us a price comparison real quick on the screen.

  • So this is the egg Tronic.

  • This is 79 99 65.

  • Wives of total power output Universal and versatile use.

  • Bc power delivery industry leading energy efficiency It looks like it comes in a different color as well.

  • It's 3.35 ounces.

  • What do you do if you need another plug up?

  • European and Australian plug versions are coming soon.

  • That might be an advantage for the energy product.

  • My previous all in one go to charger.

  • That's the charger right there.

  • It's wow!

  • look at that.

  • Very competitive.

  • $79 0 this one's only 60 watts, not 65.

  • So advantage here, it's 88 grams.

  • How heavy was this 1 94 So actually, the energy is slightly lighter.

  • What?

  • You're giving up five watts of power?

  • If I had to pick the perfect one had to go head to head with that design versus this design.

  • I'm probably gonna pick this one up just because of this factor right there.

  • Like the way this pops out the way it hangs on the wall, the way it sits flush.

  • You could push a piece of furniture up against it, a cabinet if you had to have it in a more permanent installation.

  • Or if it's in a public space in an airport or it's in your kitchen, it's not going to get bumped.

  • Me.

  • It's gonna be very difficult.

  • With the cable coming out the bottom down the wall, it's gonna be very difficult for somebody to knock this off or bend these prom anyway.

  • There you have it.

  • It's from a company called Egg Tronic.

  • It's a new brand.

  • I have no experience with them, so I'm gonna have to use it for an extended period of time.

  • Uh, the serious universal charger designed in Italy that is a pretty wild 65 watt laptop slash everything charger.

All right.
