The Zeus 280W USB-C GaN Charger features 4 ports, 3x USB-C, and 1x USB-A. Not only would it be a good solution for powering the latest Apple laptops. It is actually smaller than Apple’s 140W charger and it also has an OLED screen to keep track of charging speed.
This charger has been out for about a year now, but I hadn’t personally sen it before and I thought some of our readers might be interested.
