Laptops are supposed to be highly portable, right? But even with a built-in battery you're never leaving home without its power adapter—and that's usually a long cable with a hefty brick somewhere along its length. They're hardly compact, but this laptop adapter from FINsix is.

 

It looks like an elongated version of the tiny charger Apple includes with the iPhone, but it's able to provide a laptop with 65W of power. In comparison, the MagSafe 2 power adapter included with the MacBook Air is only rated at 45W.

 

This definitely won't be powering your gaming laptop any time soon, but any regular laptop? That 65 watt adapter will work wonders. Forget the days of having to carry around a power brick with your laptop, because this is the future of charging laptops on the go. Mark my words.

 

General Information:

1) 65 watt adapter roughly the size of an elongated iPhone charger

2) Single 2.1A USB port for charging USB powered devices (phones, tablets, etc.)

3) Mid-2014 launch window

4) No pricing available yet

More bulk.....sucks! ;p

Also you won't be able to buy the cable here without ordering from the US and suffering import costs etc..

[MatheusSanzo]

Yeah, nice... But I still need 6.5A, so the answer is no.

But no more power bricks...

It's almost worth the import fees.

i would like to see a 300w psu in that size

This is pretty nice that you don't have to carry a heavy and bulky power brick around. 2.1A seems a bit too much imo as my phone is only 1A (HTC 8S) and I think Samsung devices are 2.0A. Wish they also had ports that are around 1A for other devices.

Neither are MagSafe power bricks (the extension yes, but not the short adapter)

Bookmarked and requested updates from them, so sick of the 2 part power brick I have, this looks very portable (finally!)
