Independent · Reader-funded
We read every lab that measured the thing, score it against a fixed rubric, and publish the weights so you can see exactly how a number was reached. Where two labs disagree, we print both. Every review tells you who should not buy the thing.

Two mains outlets and four USB ports in something the size of a phone. The 100 watts is shared across all six, which is the detail that decides whether it suits your desk.

140W means a MacBook Pro charges at close to wall speed. Conversion losses mean you get roughly half the headline capacity, which is normal and almost never said out loud.
