I’ve tested GaN (gallium nitride) chargers from Satechi before, a small pleasure because eleven times out of ten they are really good. The company’s new charger takes charging to new heights. Satechi 200W USB-C 6-port, as the name suggests, delivers 200 watts across six USB-C ports.
The ports are PD (power delivery) type, you get two USB-C PD 3.1 and four USB-C PD 3.0. The charger recognizes each connected device and adjusts the power according to the port hierarchy. In total, as you can guess, it can pump out 200W.

If you connect one device to port PD1 or PD2, you can get 140W. If you connect to all ports, the distribution is 65/45/20/20/20/20/20W. If you use all ports, connect the product that consumes the most power to PD1.
I plugged in everything I could find and boy does it live up to the promise. Best of all, the charger barely got hot, thanks to GaN technology that allows it to deliver more power while being smaller. Basically, a GaN charger is three times more efficient than a regular silicone charger.
The Satechi 200W is of course CE certified and has overcurrent protection.

As chargers go, this one is hard to beat. It is compact, discreet and can be placed in a small dock on your desk. In addition, it is powerful. Plug in all your computers, iPads and iPhones and watch them charge quickly and efficiently.
The price isn’t particularly daunting either, at $149.99 straight from Satechi and Amazon USA like £143.99 on Amazon UK. If you buy a 140W charger from Apple, with only one port, you pay $99/£99.
