Baseus GaN3 Pro Power Strip

A one-stop-shop for your desktop charging needs

- JACLYN KILANI

This compact power strip doesn't take up much desktop space, and it's easy to travel with.

Baseus' device is a simple concept: a brick-shaped power strip with multiple USB-C, USB-A, and AC ports. The USB-C ports can charge at a speed of 65W, which is great for power-hungry MacBooks. Since it has a 1.5-meter power cord, it works as an extension cord that you can thread onto your desk without taking up too much room. This keeps cables off the floor and eliminates the mess and fuss associated with cables extending in every direction. A velcro strip built into the cable enables you to easily tidy the cable for taking on your travels.

As it's equipped with GaN3 technology, the Baseus Power Strip is not only very compact, but offers a super fast charge of up to 65W, but it will stay cool to the touch even while charging six devices at once. This means you can fast-charge your best MacBook and your iPhone at the same time, although the charge will be a bit slower if you have both connected at once. Since the power station also offers two USB-A ports, you can easily charge older devices as well.

A small power light on the front of the power strip informs you that it's plugged in to wall power. If you're charging overnight in your bedroom, this light is pretty bright, but unfortunately there's no way of turning it off.
