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 300W but hoped someone might know of a similar product for less than $170.
Saving a list of products that are in the ballpark below, in case they help others. Unfortunately 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 little steep. Plus it doesn't have enough ports for me. For these reasons, I'm out.
- Anker Prime 200W: at $80 this seems like a winner, but ~~they don't show what happens to the 100W outputs when you plug in a third (or sixth) device. Question pending with their support dept.~~ it can't hit 100W on any port with 6 devices plugged in.
- Anker Prime 250W: thanks FutileRecipe for the recommendation! This hits all of the marks and comes in around $140 after a discount. Might be worth the coin.
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.
