When I travel anywhere these days, I feel like I need a separate bag just for all the adapters and cables I need to charge up all my gear. I have a giant brick with a different cord coming out of each end for my MacBook, and I have a separate USB-C adapter and a USB-C to Lightning cable for my iPhone. My Apple Watch obviously needs Apple’s proprietary wireless charging disc and its mile-long cable, and my Kindle eBook reader needs a micro-USB cable and a different wall adapter. Oh, and then I also need a regular USB-C charger and adapter for the portable power bank I carry around with me. Long story short, it’s a huge pain in the butt.

With all that in mind, you can see why I was so excited when Aukey sent me the company’s new AUKEY Omnia Dual-Port 65W Fast Charger ahead of launch. This thing is… awesome! It’s 50% smaller and about 50% lighter than the MacBook’s wall adapter, and it has a total power output of 65W. That means you can connect it to just your laptop and it’ll charge at a full 65W, or you can plug in a second cable and fast-charge your iPhone or iPad at full speed while your laptop charges at 45W.

There are two different versions of the AUKEY Omnia Dual-Port 65W Fast Charger, and they’re both on sale right now on Amazon. The Dual Port USB-C PD and USB-A model retails for $50 but can be had for just $41.99 right now, and the version with two USB-C PD ports is down to $54.99 instead of $60. I carry the latter with me now so that I can fast-charge my iPhone 11 Pro while I also charge my MacBook, and it’s like a dream come true.
