The 6-in-1 MagSafe Charging Dock for your iPhone, Watch, and MacBook We Wished Apple Made

I’m not really salty about the AirPower mat anymore, but what I do find a little irksome is that Apple just abandoned the idea of a consolidated charging solution entirely. Sure, they developed MagSafe charging for the iPhone and AirPods, but they didn’t really come up with any charger that works with multiple devices, or even a charger that is capable of being a hub for all your Apple gadgets. The idea holds immense potential, but it seems Apple dropped the ball there… and the folks at ESR picked it right up.

The world’s first Apple-Certified 6-in-1 MagSafe Charger from ESR is the charger we wish Apple had made years ago. Equipped with a GaN semiconductor, the sleek device doesn’t just charge your smaller Apple gadgets, but it can also deliver up to a staggering 100W of power to your MacBook too, making it an all-in-one solution for all your charging requirements.

Here’s Why Your Next Power Bank Should Be Made From Graphene Instead of Regular Lithium

Imagine having a power bank that charges your MacBook by 50% in just half an hour, or a power bank that can fast-charge 3 laptops, a phone, earphones, and a smartwatch all at the same time, or a power bank that looks slim, but has enough battery power to juice your AirPods 51 times from start to finish. Regular lithium-ion cells can’t pull that off – but graphene can. Built with cutting-edge Lithium Polymer Graphene Composite Cells, the BOLD 2 is pretty much officially the world’s fastest power bank for its size. Boasting a whopping 27,000mAh battery that can output 290W of peak power, the BOLD 2 has a capacity and power rating that outshines any power bank its size. It looks and feels like your average power bank but can simultaneously charge 6 devices at the same time, both wired as well as wirelessly. Take it from us – regular lithium-ion batteries are history…

The BOLD 2 comes from the folks at UZE, a Miami-based startup looking to reinvent how we charge our gadgets. The company unveiled the first edition of the BOLD back in 2021, with the same Graphene technology and a stunning 260W output. The BOLD 2 pushes those odds by offering a higher power output in the same, classic, crowd-favorite design. Measuring a mere 7.5 inches long, 3.4 inches wide, and 1.18 inches thick, the BOLD 2 looks just like your regular power bank, making it easy to carry along and use wherever you go. It occupies minimal amounts of space in your backpack as well as on your desk, but will charge practically every device around it.

The side of the power bank sports four USB-C ports, two 30W ports for regular devices like your phones and AirPods, one massive 140W port for laptops one with a 100W in-out that charges laptops but also lets you charge the BOLD 2 itself, supporting even pass-through charging. Look to the top and the BOLD 2 has two familiar patterns marking the power bank’s wireless charging spots – one with an indent and a 5W output for your Apple Watch, and another with built-in MagSafe and a Qi-compatible 15W output for your smartphone. Right beside it is also an OLED surface that delivers real-time intel on energy levels and charging status.

The BOLD 2 makes some literal bold claims with how game-changingly powerful it is. With its ability to deliver up to 140W from a single USB-C port, the BOLD 2 claims being the only power bank that’s able to charge your MacBook by 50% in just half an hour – that’s about the same speed as plugging your MacBook charger into a power outlet. Moreover, the built-in 100Wh / 27,000mAh battery lets you completely charge your MacBook twice, your iPhone 8 times, or your AirPods 51 times… all in under 75 minutes.

All that power is all thanks to the BOLD 2’s Lithium Polymer Graphene Composite Cells. Unlike regular Lithium-ion cells, they’re much more efficient, hold more energy, deliver higher power outputs, and last 4x longer than regular Li-ion batteries, allowing your BOLD 2 to consistently charge your devices for more than 5 years with a negligible drop in performance. A cutting-edge temperature defense system also adds a layer of protection, preventing overheating, overcharging, overcurrent, short-circuiting, and surging, while built-in power management features also help the BOLD 2 deliver the right amount of power to each device to charge them all rapidly and efficiently.

This isn’t UZE’s first rodeo with power banks. The original 2021 BOLD device saw over 5,000 users benefitting from its powerful capabilities, and UZE is betting on a future where all power banks will rely on graphene instead of regular lithium-ion. The BOLD 2 is perfect for all sorts of applications, given its ability to charge a wide range of devices. It’s perfect for photographers and videographers looking to power their laptops along with their drones, cameras, and other gear, or even for the nomad who wants to be able to work out of anywhere without worrying about needing to carry 10 different chargers. If you’re hard-pressed for a power outlet, the BOLD 2 acts as a wonderful charging hub, letting you use one single power socket to charge the BOLD 2 itself along with all your other devices.

The BOLD 2 comes made from anodized aluminum along with a polycarbonate charging surface – making it durable, lightweight, and naturally fireproof. At 1.54 lbs (698 grams), it’s perfect for carrying around with you wherever you go, and is rated safe for carrying on flights too. The BOLD 2 starts at just $159 and ships with a 1-year warranty. Besides, you can even grab one of UZE’s GaN chargers to fast-charge your power bank while it fast-charges your other devices!

World’s Fastest Graphene Power Bank Charges Your Phone and Laptop in a Flash

We’ve become so dependent on our electronic devices that it’s not unusual to see or hear people panicking when their phones or laptops get drained without a power outlet in sight. While these devices have gotten more powerful, the batteries powering them haven’t made the same leaps and bounds in advancements. Our only recourse is to minimize their power consumption or try to delay the inevitable with a handy power bank that can only extend your phone’s life once or twice, and often after a long period of waiting. Fortunately, power banks have actually seen significant progress, as demonstrated by the innovative BOLD 2 graphene power bank that boldly goes where no power bank has gone before, quickly charging as many as 6 different devices at the same time, including a power-hungry MacBook to 50% in just 30 minutes!

Despite their portability and convenience, power banks are still limited by the same considerations as most batteries. You have to balance speed, safety, capacity, portability, compatibility, and ease of use all at the same time. It’s quite difficult to check all those boxes, which is why there are so many options and variations of the same product available, but it’s not impossible, as proven by the BOLD 2.

This ultra-fast power bank utilizes lithium polymer graphene composite cells, a technology that’s becoming more popular in these portable batteries, to deliver all that you can ever want in a power bank. Graphene’s unique properties allow it to output more power more efficiently, which ultimately leads to faster charging times. That MacBook is no match for the BOLD 2, letting you charge from 0% to 50% in half an hour, almost as if you were plugged into an outlet. In fact, any laptop that can charge over USB-C will be able to enjoy the same freedom from power sockets, thanks to the 140W USB-C port.

Different devices have different charging needs, of course, and the BOLD 2 has also got you covered. Two 30W USB-C ports would be enough for most phones, drones, and accessories, but there’s also a 100W port for more power-hungry devices like tablets and gaming handhelds. Even better, there’s a MagSafe charger for compatible phones and another specifically for the Apple Watch, so you won’t even have to bother with cables for a quick charge. That’s a combined output of 290W, something no other power bank can boast of, making the BOLD 2 truly the world’s fastest graphene power bank.

The BOLD 2 carries a whopping 27,000 mAh, which means you can charge a MacBook Air twice or an iPhone 14 Pro 8 times. The power bank itself charges at 100W, so it’s plenty fast, and you can even charge it and connected devices at the same time, thanks to pass-through charging technology. Never have to worry about tangled cords or needing multiple sockets when all you need is one outlet to charge them all.

Despite all these features, the BOLD 2 doesn’t compromise on quality or safety. With an aircraft-grade American anodized aluminum body, a fireproof polycarbonate wireless pad, and cutting-edge overheating and overcharging protection, this powerful power bank is made to be durable, safe, and long-lasting. And since it meets TSA/EASA guidelines, it’s the perfect travel companion, even when you’re high up in the air. Whether you’re a digital nomad, a creative on-the-go, a busy parent, or an adventurous traveler, the world’s fastest graphene power bank lets you stop worrying about battery life and start getting into the zone, wherever life or work takes you.

This tiny wireless charger is a convenient alternative to the Apple MagSafe Charger

Whether you’re working from home, or in a corporate office, the one thing that’s pretty much consistent in both these scenarios is a desk! A desk is probably one of the most important pieces of furniture in our modern lives, only because we spend the majority of our day on it. You may be typing away to glory, munching away on a snack, or simply fidgeting with a random object – you do end up spending hours on your desk. And hence, it’s really important that your desk be neat, tidy, and uncluttered. Not only will this improve your work routine and productivity, but it will also help you maintain a clearer and more streamlined mindset. And, I’ve discovered that adding limited, quality, and innovative products to my desk setup can help me in achieving these goals! And a nifty desk accessory that I recently came across is the Neatcharge wireless charger.

Designer: Humanscale

Designed by office furniture brand Humanscale, the Neatcharge is a wireless charger that can be neatly attached to the underside of your work desk or any flat surface to subtly charge your phones. The 13-centimeter-wide wireless charger was designed as a discreet alternative to traditional wired chargers, which tend to clutter up our desks and make them messy. Neatcharge, on the other hand, helps to maintain a clean work desk and can be utilized in the office and home as well.

The charger can be attached to the underbelly of a flat surface using screws or double-sided tape. Once you place the phone on the wireless charger, it turns on and uses magnetic resonance technology to power the phone. Once you remove the phone from the charger, it instantly powers off.

“While conventional wireless chargers are required to be placed on top of the desk or between the furniture, therefore, permanently affecting the worksurface, NeatCharge seamlessly mounts underneath the desk or any tabletop. This positioning brings power exactly where the user requires it while keeping the workspace or living area free of additional clutter and cords,” said Humanscale. The Neatcharge models at priced at $199 onwards, and are a bit heftily priced.

Charging and data backup, however, require two separate products, mostly because they have different requirements and goals that don’t always intersect, at least until recently. It turns out that the devices that we’d often like to charge are also the devices that need to have their data backed up regularly. Who says you can’t do both at the same time, especially with this wonder pocket-size charger that can quickly top up your device while it backs up your precious data with military-grade security.
