Weight is also an important consideration for these portable SSDs. OISLE's product stands out with its lightweight design, weighing only 35 grams, making it ideal for users who frequently need to carry mobile storage devices. In comparison, the products from TEAMGROUP and MOVESPEED are relatively heavier due to their aluminum alloy construction, weighing 40 grams and 50 grams respectively. The aluminum alloy material not only gives these two products higher durability and an elegant appearance but also slightly increases their weight.

When it comes to performance and transfer speeds, MOVESPEED's portable SSDs excels with support for USB transfer speeds of up to 20Gbps, providing a fast and efficient data transfer experience. TEAMGROUP's product offers a transfer speed of 10Gbps, which, although halved compared to MOVESPEED, is more than sufficient for the USB-C port specifications of iPhone 15.

To discern between the two when making a purchase, consulting the Thunderbolt official website is recommended.

Among all the mentioned cables, prominent brands such as Apple, Belkin, and CalDigit are present, alongside smaller brands like FIBBR, WERO, and Zikko (Hong Kong). Major brands may come with a premium, while the latter often offers a better balance of cost and quality.

In terms of performance, since all cables adhere to Thunderbolt 4 specifications, significant performance disparities are unlikely. Differences primarily lie in the materials used and the cable length. With Apple offering three braided cables, the others are typically made of PVC or TPE. Braided cables generally boast superior durability but come at a higher price.

Regarding cable length, approximately 1 meter suffices for most everyday scenarios. Ultra-short Thunderbolt 4 cables, such as 0.3m or 0.5m, pair well with Thunderbolt docks or ssd enclosures. Cables exceeding 1.5m or 2m are more suited for video transmission scenarios, allowing users to select the ideal length based on their specific needs.

Introduction

With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers gradually shifted away from physical currency and payment cards because of lockdowns, social distancing measures, and health concerns, leading to an increased dependence on QR code payments. However, cash and payment card transactions still hold a significant share in our daily lives, that's because the traditional bank card payment system is already well-established, and there remain certain apprehensions regarding the security of QR code payments.

Carrying a wallet while on the go is necessary for bank cards. Since the launch of Apple's iPhone 12 with MagSafe functionality, we've witnessed a new form of wallet - the MagSafe wallet. It not only serves the purpose of storing cards but also exudes a stylish appeal. Many MagSafe wallets utilize leather, offering a superior tactile feel compared to those without a case. The magnetic properties also prevent loss, with some even featuring stand functions, adaptable to various usage scenarios. Overall, the MagSafe wallet ranks high as an Everyday Carry (EDC) accessory.

This time, ChargerLAB brings forth a range of MagSafe wallets compatible not only with the iPhone 12-15 series but also with certain Android models when equipped with a case.

Apple

With the growing adoption of the new Qi2 wireless charging standard, it's anticipated that numerous new smartphones will come equipped with magnetic functionalities.

Presently, the MagSafe wallets available in the market primarily fall into two categories. There are those like Apple's own MagSafe wallet and the PITAKA MagSafe wallet, offering card storage functionality exclusively. Then there are options like MOFT and ESR, which also integrate ring holders and stand functionalities.

Each of these five options possesses unique features. Apple's MagSafe wallet showcases special animations and a 'Find My' feature, setting it apart from third-party alternatives. PITAKA's MagSafe wallet boasts a sleek, seam-free design and a minimalist aesthetic. MOFT, on the other hand, offers a pleasing tactile feel and comes in a range of seven different colors, coupled with three-mode stand functionality.

Finally, the two offerings from ESR stand out - the ring-holder variant minimizes finger pressure during single-handed use, providing support for heavier phones, while the magnetic stand version offers versatile adjustments ranging from 15° to 160°, facilitating seamless switching between horizontal, vertical, and floating modes.

Unlocking ROG Ally's Turbo Mode with These Five Docking Stations https://www.chargerlab.com/unlocking-rog-allys-turbo-mode-with-these-five-docking-stations/ Mon, 15 Jan 2024 01:46:23 +0000 https://www.chargerlab.com/?p=22476

Introduction

ASUS debuted the ROG Ally, its inaugural PC handheld console, on June 13th. Distinguished by superior design, performance, and user experience, this device sets a new benchmark in the realm of high-quality gaming handhelds. Boasting cutting-edge design elements, a lightweight build, and a gaming prowess that rivals or even exceeds that of the PlayStation 4, it represents a substantial leap forward from the Nintendo Switch.

While its 608g weight is comparatively lighter than direct competitors like the Steam Deck OLED and Lenovo Legion Go (640g and 854g respectively), it still appears slightly bulkier when compared to the earlier Nintendo Switch Oled (420g). This means prolonged hand-held use might feel a bit taxing. Also, while its built-in 7-inch 1080P display is relatively large for this type of product, it doesn't quite match the visual experience offered by monitors or TVs. Consequently, expanding display options and using external accessories, especially a docking station, become crucial for optimizing the ROG Ally's utility for PC handheld gaming scenarios. Because it offers sturdy support, provides an optimal viewing angle, and allows for connections to devices like keyboards, mice, and Ethernet cables.

This time, ChargerLAB has curated a selection of docking stations ideal for the ROG Ally.

JSAUX

JSAUX 6-in-1 Docking Station with M.2 Slot

At first glance, the JSAUX Steam Deck docking station doesn't flaunt anything extraordinary in terms of ports, featuring an HDMI 2.0 port, 2 USB-A 3.2 ports, a Gigabit Ethernet port, and a 100W USB-C port for fast charging during use with the ROG Ally. Additionally, it includes a cable perfectly suited for connecting to the Ally.

Unlocking ROG Ally's Turbo Mode with These Five Docking Stations-Chargerlab

However, its standout feature lies in the built-in M.2 slot supporting 2280, 2230, 2242, and 2260 SSDs, accommodating both NVMe and SATA types for seamless storage expansion. Apart from its compatibility with the ROG Ally, it's also compatible with other USB-C devices like smartphones, tablets, and the Steam Deck.

Hagibis

Hagibis USB-C Docking Station for Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Lenovo Legion Go

As the name suggests, this Hagibis docking station is compatible with the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, and Lenovo Legion Go. Its overall pure white design complements the ROG Ally, even resembling an official accessory from ROG.

Unlocking ROG Ally's Turbo Mode with These Five Docking Stations-Chargerlab

Featuring various ports, including a PD 100W port, 2 USB-A, and 1 USB-C port (all USB 3.1), an HDMI port, and a 2.5G Ethernet port, it guarantees a stable and smooth gaming experience. Additionally, it boasts a feature highly compatible with the ROG Ally - RGB lighting! With 15 color modes and touch-controlled color switching, it synchronizes the RGB lighting between the left and right joysticks of your ROG Ally and the docking station, somewhat akin to a budget-friendly version of Aura Sync. Furthermore, it supports the turbo mode of the ROG Ally.

Hagibis 4-in-1 Steam Deck Docking Station

While the previous model excels in performance, lighting effects, and design, it inevitably comes at a higher price. For those seeking a docking station primarily for basic functionality, Hagibis's 4-in-1 model might fit the bill. Its overall design seems to use minimal materials, resembling the stand for the older version of the Nintendo Switch.

Unlocking ROG Ally's Turbo Mode with These Five Docking Stations-Chargerlab

In terms of performance, it includes only two USB 2.0 Type-A ports, one 100W USB-C port, and one HDMI 2.0 video port, meeting basic expansion requirements. What's more, its price is incredibly affordable, currently priced at $24.99 after discount.

Baseus

Baseus GamerX 6 Ports USB-C Steam Deck Docking Station

Unlocking ROG Ally's Turbo Mode with These Five Docking Stations-Chargerlab

Its USB-C port supports PD 100W input, meeting charging and expansion needs for devices like the Steam Deck, ROG Ally (supporting the turbo mode), tablets, or laptops. The USB-A ports can connect peripherals like mice and keyboards, the HDMI port supports 4K@60Hz signal transmission, and the Gigabit Ethernet port adapts to various network speeds, ensuring higher compatibility.

Summary of ChargerLAB

All five selected docking stations can activate the turbo mode of the ROG Ally, support 100W PD charging, 4K@60Hz screen mirroring, Gigabit Ethernet ports, and multiple USB-A ports. However, they also exhibit several differences, summarized below.

In terms of appearance, although the more expensive Hagibis model uses ABS+silicone materials, its overall heat dissipation performance doesn't match up to other metallic models. Nevertheless, its all-white color scheme and RGB lighting make it the most visually striking and suitable docking station for the Ally.

Regarding ports, the pricier Hagibis USB-C docking station is the only one with two USB-C ports, enabling connections to other USB-C devices. The JSAUX 6-in-1, on the other hand, demonstrates remarkable creativity by incorporating an M.2 slot, further expanding a gamer's library.

Moreover, the Baseus model is the only one offering angle adjustment, catering to specific preferences.

Introducing Eight SD Cards for Your Lenovo Legion Go https://www.chargerlab.com/introducing-eight-sd-cards-for-your-lenovo-legion-go/ Wed, 10 Jan 2024 00:58:00 +0000 https://www.chargerlab.com/?p=22264

Introduction

In the realm of handheld gaming PCs, 2023 has emerged as a noteworthy year. Updates from prominent companies such as Ayaneo and GPD have already made waves. Earlier in the spring, Asus introduced the ROG Ally to the competition. Later on, Valve brought us the updated Steam Deck OLED. Now, at IFA, Lenovo is making its mark by entering the arena with the Legion Go.

The Lenovo Legion Go is equipped with the same AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor as the ROG Ally. Its standout feature is the massive 8.8-inch IPS screen with a resolution of 2560x1600, also known as 2K, boasting a high refresh rate of 144Hz. It comes with 16GB of LPDDR5X-7500 memory. The current offerings include two versions with 512GB and 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD, both following the 2242 specification, similar to the ROG Ally and Steam Deck.

Additionally, it houses a 49.2Wh battery and comes with a 65W USB-C power adapter. It features two USB4 ports, supports Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2, and includes two 2W speakers.

Setting aside its considerable weight of up to 854g (1.88lbs), this handheld console stands out as a top-tier device in terms of both screen specifications and processor performance. However, similar to the ROG Ally, the 512GB storage might prove insufficient for gamers. But the good news is that Legion Go also offers a Micro SD card slot, providing a convenient expansion option for users who may not be tech-savvy or prefer to avoid tinkering with their devices. Interestingly, numerous users have discovered that the disparity in game loading speed between using a Micro SD card and an SSD isn't substantial.

This time, we'll take stock of several Micro SD cards currently available for the Legion Go that have received good reviews and boast decent sales figures.

Summary of ChargerLAB

For the Micro SD Card category, there are various standards and protocols to consider. Specifically for Legion Go users, attention should be given to the A1 and A2 standards, which represent app-opening speeds. While the aforementioned eight Micro SD Cards all boast specifications of U3, V30, and A2 or higher, there are discernible differences in their actual read and write performances. Let's discuss how to make a choice.

In terms of warranty duration, the aforementioned eight Micro SD Cards come with warranties spanning three, five, ten years, and lifetime warranties. However, overall, these products tend to have high stability, with few quality issues. If product quality is a top priority, selecting the other three products with lifetime warranties would be advisable.

Regarding storage capacity, options vary from 32GB to 1TB. As highlighted in our previous SSD purchasing guide, given the notable expansion in the size of modern AAA games, capacities surpassing 512GB present a more favorable selection. These not only cater to present demands but also provide improved cost-efficiency.

In terms of performance, while their specifications might not differ significantly, there are variations in their actual read and write speeds. Users can further select based on a comprehensive consideration of the prices available.

Introduction

Remember when the Nintendo Switch was initially dismissed before its release, only to defy expectations and soar to global success? Its innovative design and versatility captured the hearts of gamers worldwide. Yet, nestled within its triumphs lay a flaw – the limitations of its dock charging system. While the native dock had its merits, it lacked the multifunctionality and portability desired by many.

Enter a new solution that bridges these gaps – the HDMI-supported USB-C chargers, specifically tailored for the Switch. Let's explore the evolution of charging solutions and how products like the Switch Dock Charger revolutionize the gaming experience.

Specifically, this time we have compiled a list of several USB-C chargers with HDMI ports available in the market for your consideration.

Turbo Mode Enabled | Check out These Eleven Power Banks for Your ROG Ally https://www.chargerlab.com/turbo-mode-enabled-check-out-these-eleven-power-banks-for-your-rog-ally/ Fri, 29 Dec 2023 01:56:07 +0000 https://www.chargerlab.com/?p=21948

Introduction

On June 13th, ASUS ROG launched its first PC handheld console - the ROG Ally. In terms of design, performance, and user experience, it stands as a high-quality gaming handheld device. With breakthrough advanced design, lightweight construction, and high-performance gaming experience, its real-world performance can match or even surpass that of the PlayStation 4! It's a significant step up from the Nintendo Switch.

However, anyone who has experienced any PC handheld console knows that the biggest factor affecting their usage, including the ROG Ally, is battery life. Specifically, when playing 3A games in the 25W turbo mode, it often only lasts for one or two hours. Though you can get away with it by using the device while plugged in, many people rely on it during commutes or travel.

For those ROG Ally users, a high-capacity, high-power power bank is essential. Initially, there were some compatibility issues with charging, but after updating the BIOS 323 firmware, most users have tested that power banks supporting 100W PD fast charging can enable the ROG Ally to operate in 30W or 25W turbo modes, providing an ultimate gaming experience.

Therefore, ChargerLAB has compiled a list of available power banks supporting 100W fast charging that can fast charge the ROG Ally.

Anker

Anker 140W PD3.1 Power Bank (737 Power Bank)

First up is a high-power power bank, the Anker 737 Power Bank, which has been featured multiple times on ChargerLAB through teardowns, charging compatibility tests, Amazon reviews, and more. This demonstrates its build quality and performance.

In terms of appearance, it continues Anker's high-end charging product design with a carbon dioxide laser engraving process, offering a special metallic texture despite its non-metallic casing. Its standout feature is the front TFT full-color display that showcases input power, output power, remaining battery, charging and discharging times, temperature, battery energy, and more for each port.

Adopting a rectangular columnar structure with a gray body and a sleek shiny black front panel, this power bank bears a striking resemblance to the previously introduced Anker 140W PD3.1 Power Bank (737). However, it has increased capacity and maximum total output power of 20,000mAh and 200W, respectively.

Summary of ChargerLAB

When selecting a power bank, charging power, capacity, the number of ports, and appearance are often crucial factors.

In terms of charging power, all 11 power banks mentioned support 100W; among them, Anker 737, CKUTECH No.20, and UGREEN 145W go further, supporting the latest 140W PD3.1 specifications. This not only meets the advanced MacBook Pro requirements but also ensures usability for at least five years, showcasing significant power.

Get Ready for Gaming | Introducing Five SD Cards for Your Steam Deck https://www.chargerlab.com/get-ready-for-gaming-introducing-five-sd-cards-for-your-steam-deck/ Mon, 25 Dec 2023 02:07:25 +0000 https://www.chargerlab.com/?p=21810

Introduction

Before Valve introduced the Steam Deck, there were already several PC handheld manufacturers in the market, such as AYANEO, GPD, and others. However, none of them had the extensive support of Steam, the largest online store for PC gaming, to the extent that Steam Deck does. Additionally, the Deck boasts an astonishing level of repairability; it allows you not only to replace the built-in 2230 SSD but also to directly insert an SD card to run independent games. Pretty sweet.

Recently, Valve has even released an advanced Steam Deck OLED version. It supports a refresh rate of up to 90Hz, is equipped with faster WiFi 6E, a larger battery, and a more energy-efficient 6nm AMD APU, estimating a considerable increase in gaming time.

As mentioned earlier, the Steam Deck comes with a Micro SD card slot; this is a good expansion option for users who are not very tech-savvy or prefer not to tinker with their devices. In fact, many users have found that the difference in game loading speed between adding a Micro SD card and an SSD is not significant. For example, in Cyberpunk 2077, loading the same saved file took 19 seconds with an SD card and 12 seconds with an SSD! If it were my money, I'd opt for the much cheaper SD card.

So, this time, let's take stock of some Micro SD cards suitable for the Steam Deck.

Kingston

Kingston SDXC Canvas Go Plus SD Card

First up is Kingston's Canvas Go Plus SD Card, with performance ratings of U3, V30, C10. For those who don't know, these three specs represent UHS Speed Class, Video Speed Class, and Speed Class, respectively. Here, they signify a minimum write speed of 30MB/s. It's waterproof, temperature-proof, shockproof, and comes in capacities ranging from 64GB to 512GB, with a lifetime warranty.

Get Ready for Gaming | Introducing Five SD Cards for Your Steam Deck-Chargerlab

Performance-wise, it has transfer speeds of up to 170MB/s, supporting UHS-I U3 and V30 speeds, making it ideal for quick transfers and capturing full HD and 4K content. Its data transfer capabilities are particularly suitable for use with 4K cameras, action cameras, drones, Android devices, and, of course, handheld gaming consoles like the Steam Deck.

Lexar

Lexar 1066x SD Card

Lexar's 1066x Micro SD card features performance ratings of U3, V30, A2, indicating a minimum random read speed of 4000 IOPS and a minimum random write speed of 2000 IOPS compared to the previous model. It also offers resistance to extreme temperatures, waterproofing, and comes in capacities ranging from 64GB to 1TB, with limited lifetime warranty.

Get Ready for Gaming | Introducing Five SD Cards for Your Steam Deck-Chargerlab

With read speeds of up to 160MB/s, write speeds of 120MB/s, and WRITE BOOST technology, it ensures more stable 4K shooting. It's compatible with action cameras, drones, smartphones, tablets, gaming consoles, dash cams, music players, and more.

Netac

Netac 667X SD Card

Netac's 667X Micro SD card features performance ratings of C10, U3, A1, V30, meaning it has a minimum write speed of 30MB/s, a random read speed of 1500 IOPS, and a minimum random write speed of 500 IOPS. It also features resistance to cold, heat, shock, water, and magnetic interference. It's available in capacities ranging from 32GB to 512GB. But sadly, it only has a limited five-year warranty.

Get Ready for Gaming | Introducing Five SD Cards for Your Steam Deck-Chargerlab

Performance-wise, it achieves read speeds of up to 100MB/s, smoothly supporting 4K ultra HD video streaming and adapting to various devices like action cameras, drones, gaming consoles, etc.

Samsung

Samsung PRO Plus microSD Memory Card

Next is Samsung's Micro SD card, one of the best-selling SD cards on Amazon. It carries performance ratings of C10, U3, V30, A2, offering comprehensive six-layer protection suitable for home, outdoor, and travel use. It comes in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB versions, with a ten-year limited warranty.

Get Ready for Gaming | Introducing Five SD Cards for Your Steam Deck-Chargerlab

Performance-wise, the 512GB version features sequential read/write speeds of up to 180MB/s and 130MB/s, enabling easy 4K video capture for smartphones, drones, and providing ample storage expansion for devices like the Steam Deck and tablets.

SanDisk

SanDisk Extreme SDSQXAV-128G-GN6MA SD Card

Lastly, the SanDisk Extreme Micro SD card. It carries performance ratings of U3, V30, A2, designed to endure harsh conditions and tested for high temperature, waterproofing, shock resistance, and X-ray protection. It's available in capacities ranging from 32GB to 1TB, offering a lifetime warranty.

Get Ready for Gaming | Introducing Five SD Cards for Your Steam Deck-Chargerlab

Thanks to the A2 standard, it achieves faster application performance, delivering an excellent smartphone experience. It also prevents frame skipping when shooting videos, allowing easy capture of lossless 4K ultra HD and full HD videos. Versions above 128GB feature read/write speeds of up to 190MB/s and 130MB/s, suitable for smartphones, tablets, action cameras, gaming consoles, and video monitoring applications.

Summary of ChargerLAB

For Micro SD cards, there are several standards and protocols to consider. For Steam Deck users, it's important to pay attention to the A1 and A2 standards representing application opening speeds. Among the five Micro SD cards mentioned, only the Netac 667X SD Card is A1; the rest are A2. Additionally, due to differences in flash memory and controllers, there might be some variation in actual read/write performance.

Regarding warranties, only the Netac 667X and Samsung PRO Plus provide limited warranties of five and ten years, respectively. However, overall, these products tend to have high stability, with few quality issues. If product quality is a top priority, selecting the other three products with lifetime warranties would be advisable.

In terms of capacity, selections range from 32GB to 1TB. As mentioned on our last SSD buying guide article, considering the significant increase in the size of AAA games today, capacities above 512GB are a better choice. Not only do they meet current needs, but they also offer better cost-effectiveness.

Performance-wise, while there are differences in specifications among these Micro SD cards, the actual game loading speed on the Steam Deck might not exhibit significant differences.

Introduction

Before Valve introduced the Steam Deck, there were already several PC handheld manufacturers in the market, such as AYANEO, GPD, and others. However, none of them had the extensive support of Steam, the largest online store for PC gaming, to the extent that Steam Deck does. Additionally, the Deck boasts an astonishing level of repairability; it allows you not only to directly insert an SD card to run independent games with low read performance requirements but also to directly replace the built-in 2230 SSD. This also makes the $399 64GB version quite cost-effective.

Recently, Valve has even released an advanced Steam Deck OLED version. It supports a refresh rate of up to 90Hz, is equipped with faster WiFi 6E, a larger battery, and a more energy-efficient 6nm AMD APU, estimating a considerable increase in gaming time.

Moreover, the new lineup has elevated the minimum storage to 256GB at the same price. However, considering the size of today's AAA games, often reaching 50GB, most players are likely to opt for expansion after purchasing the Steam Deck. So today, we're here to recommend some good 2230 SSDs for your Deck.

Corsair

First, we have an American company that specializing in high-performance PC components and gaming peripherals-Corsair.

Corsair MP600 Mini

The Corsair MP600 Mini adopts high-density TLC NAND flash memory, which offers an ideal mix of performance and endurance. However, it only comes in a 1TB option with a 3-year warranty.

Gear Up for Gaming | Introducing Five 2230 SSDs for Your Steam Deck-Chargerlab

In terms of performance, it utilizes PCIe Gen4 technology and is backward compatible with Gen3, achieving maximum sequential read/write speeds of 4800MB/s. With this device, you can load games, boot Windows, open and transfer files faster than the standard drive. And according to Amazon US's product review interface, its actual read/write speeds reach around 3500MB/s, within an acceptable margin of error.

Sabrent

Sabrent Rocket 2230

Next is the Sabrent Rocket 2230. It delivers Gen4 NVMe performance within a compact size. Achieving speeds of up to 5GBps and handling up to 800K IOPS. Furthermore, it maintains backward compatibility with Gen3 and Gen2 PCIe slots. It offers options of 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB with a 5-year warranty.

Gear Up for Gaming | Introducing Five 2230 SSDs for Your Steam Deck-Chargerlab

In terms of performance, it features the new PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD controller with exceptional 3D TLC, achieving sequential read/write speeds of 4750MB/s and 4300MB/s, respectively.

Western Digital

Western Digital SN770M

Next is a well-known data storage company familiar to most tech enthusiasts—Western Digital. This SN770M utilizes their own optimal 3D TLC NAND controllers and comes in a 2230 form factor. It's suitable for various PC handhelds, including ROG Ally and Steam Deck, enabling swift game installations and level loading. Moreover, it offers three common capacities of 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB, with a five-year limited warranty.

Gear Up for Gaming | Introducing Five 2230 SSDs for Your Steam Deck-Chargerlab

In terms of performance, the 1TB and 2TB versions achieve sequential read/write speeds of 5150MB/s and 4900MB/s, respectively. Additionally, it can also be used for expanding supported laptops, meaning if your handheld is idle, you can detach it for other devices in need. Furthermore, Western Digital provides dedicated software, Dashboard, for Windows users to manage the drive.

Western Digital SN740

The Western Digital SN740 is an OEM version that also utilizes their own 3D TLC NAND controllers, available only in 256GB and 512GB versions without specified warranty details.

Gear Up for Gaming | Introducing Five 2230 SSDs for Your Steam Deck-Chargerlab

In terms of performance, it supports PCIe Gen4, backward compatible with PCIe 3.0, with read and write speeds around 5000MB/s. It also supports a range of laptops.

Colorful

Next is a product from Colorful. For those of you who don't know, Colorful is a Chinese technology company primarily known for manufacturing graphics cards, motherboards, and other computer hardware components.

Colorful CN700 2230

Colorful CN700 claims to use premium-grade particles and has original flash guaranteed. It supports the new generation PCIE4.0 technology, offering only a single 1TB capacity choice. Additionally, it claims to be a "Golden partner" for handheld gaming consoles.

Gear Up for Gaming | Introducing Five 2230 SSDs for Your Steam Deck-Chargerlab

In terms of performance, sequential read/write speeds can reach 5000MB/s and 3500MB/s, equipped with efficient graphene heat patches, more efficient compared to traditional copper foils. It's compatible with various devices such as mobile gaming laptops, handhelds, and tablets.

Summary of ChargerLAB

Overall, the number of M.2 2230 solid-state drives available for sale is far less than the 2280 specification. Our goal is to select good products suitable for the Steam Deck from this relatively limited selection.

In terms of capacity, the available capacities for the five SSDs are mostly within the range of 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB. As mentioned earlier, considering the significant increase in the size of AAA games today, capacities above 1TB are a better choice. Not only do they meet current needs, but they also offer better cost-effectiveness.

Regarding performance, all five SSDs support PCIe 4.0 and are backward compatible with PCIe 3.0. Although the Steam Deck only supports a maximum of PCIe 3 x4 in the m.2 slot, you can still use them in supported laptops in the future.

Furthermore, among the five SSDs mentioned, Western Digital's SN740 is an OEM version available in only a few third-party stores, naturally offering less in terms of after-sales support compared to the other four. However, it stands out for its high cost-effectiveness. For users who prefer less tinkering, these mentioned 2230 SSDs are excellent choices in terms of both after-sales support and performance.

Despite its weight of 70.9g, it's lighter than the MagSafe Battery Pack by around 40g. Plus, its built-in silent fan ensures that it won't disrupt your gaming or voice chat with noise.

It uses a USB-C port, which means you can share a cable with your iPhone 15. ChargerLAB measured its power consumption at around 7W, and in just ten seconds, you can feel a noticeable drop in temperature, meeting the official claim of "rapid cooling in 5 seconds." Besides cooling, it can also serve as a phone stand. When not in use, you can even stick it to the refrigerator for storage – a common scenario for such gadgets that often end up sitting idle.

Black Shark

Black Shark Magnetic Phone Cooler

While Benks, an experienced mobile accessory manufacturer, is certainly trustworthy, if you're interested in a magnetic phone cooler designed by a phone manufacturer, take a look at this Black Shark product. It shares a similar circular design with a weight of about 73g, and a green LED indicator lights up when you plug in the USB-C cable. Additionally, it has an input power of 10W.

An Ultimate iPhone 15 Accessories Buying Guide: Chargers, Cables, and More-Chargerlab

It features a built-in 5-blade fan with a maximum speed of 7200rpm, complemented by multiple metal columns for efficient heat dissipation. To accommodate phones and tablets that lack a magnetic area, Black Shark includes a special magnetic sticker with each cooler. Simply attach it to the back of your other electronic devices like applying a screen protector, and you can use the cooler without a hitch.

Black Shark Magnetic Cooler 3Pro

Just as the name suggests, it's the advanced model in the Black Shark phone cooler series. It appears more refined and stylish on the outside, with a manual switch on the side. Additionally, the circular ring on the top is actually an RGB light that offers 11 optical colors. It also comes with a magnetic sticker.

An Ultimate iPhone 15 Accessories Buying Guide: Chargers, Cables, and More-Chargerlab

In terms of performance, it has a power output of 20W and features seven fan blades with a speed of 6500rpm. According to our tests, it provides good cooling. Moreover, it can be connected to the specially designed Black Shark app for controlling fan speed, scheduling shutdowns, and managing the mentioned RGB light effects.

Flydigi

Flydigi B6X Magnetic Phone Cooler

The Flydigi B6X is actually their fifth-generation cooler. It incorporates overclocking cooling and intelligent variable frequency technologies, effectively preventing internal condensation and significantly enhancing cooling. It also has RGB lighting on top, which changes to warm colors during demanding gaming sessions and reverts to normal in other situations.

An Ultimate iPhone 15 Accessories Buying Guide: Chargers, Cables, and More-Chargerlab

In terms of performance, it also has a maximum power output of 20W and comes with a magnetic sheet for Android phones and tablets. It can be connected to the Flydigi Game Center app to control fan speed and RGB lighting. However, it's worth noting that it weighs 93g, which might be a concern for users who play games for extended periods.

Razer

Razer Phone Cooler Chroma

While many products have RGB lighting, few are experts in this field. Who is the professional in the RGB arena? The answer is clear - Razer. Their Razer Phone Cooler Chroma comes with 12 built-in RGB LED lights, offering up to 16.8 million custom lighting effects. For those who don't know, Razer Chroma RGB is a lighting technology that allows users to customize and synchronize RGB lighting on their Razer products, such as keyboards, mice, headsets, and mousepads.

An Ultimate iPhone 15 Accessories Buying Guide: Chargers, Cables, and More-Chargerlab

In terms of performance, it features a seven-blade fan with a speed of 6400rpm and a maximum noise level of 30dB. It uses a thermoelectric cooler and an aluminum heatsink to dissipate heat. Like Black Shark and Flydigi, users can adjust the fan speed through Razer's own app.

Magnetic Phone Cooler with Charging Capabilities

Magnetic coolers are great, but they can be inconvenient in practice. High-performance gaming can drain your battery quickly, and traditional phone coolers, which occupy the back of the phone, leave you with only wired charging as an option. Adding the Magnetic Phone Cooler's own power cable can make things messy. That's where coolers with charging capabilities come in!

Benks

Benks MagClap Biliz Cooling Wireless Charger

This Benks cooler, which we've actually took apart before, looks somewhat like Iron Man's energy source – the arc reactor. It's constructed from PC+ABS+aluminum alloy materials and features a combination of three colors: purple, silver, and black. It weighs 89.2g, but considering it can wirelessly charge, that's acceptable.

An Ultimate iPhone 15 Accessories Buying Guide: Chargers, Cables, and More-Chargerlab

In our tests, without the cooler, the phone's temperature increased by 15.8°C, but with Benks' product, it only increased by 1.6°C, demonstrating excellent cooling. TEC semiconductor cooling technology and a 6900rpm cooling fan combine to achieve this remarkable effect.

MOMAX

MOMAX Play Magnetic Wireless Phone Cooler

The standout feature of the MOMAX cooler is its semi-transparent design, allowing you to see the internal wireless charging coil and magnetic components, similar to our AK001.

An Ultimate iPhone 15 Accessories Buying Guide: Chargers, Cables, and More-Chargerlab

It can reach a maximum speed of 6000rpm. The bottom features a 6W semiconductor cooling module and a 15W Qi wireless charging module, which is sufficient for iPhone 15 series users. Additionally, it can switch between "cooling mode" and "charging+cooling mode" with a single button, making it user-friendly.

OnePlus

OnePlus 45W Liquid Cooler

Next up is a product from another familiar smartphone manufacturer, OnePlus. What sets it apart from the previous products using thermoelectric cooling technology is that it employs liquid cooling. This approach has two significant advantages. Firstly, the fan module can be placed in the cooling pump, reducing noise levels. Secondly, it significantly reduces the weight on the phone, reducing strain on the wrist.

An Ultimate iPhone 15 Accessories Buying Guide: Chargers, Cables, and More-Chargerlab

As the name suggests, it has a maximum power output of 45W, and it offers four power levels for cooling. The magnetic end is compatible with the iPhone 12-15 series and various Android models.

In our tests, without the cooler, the phone's temperature increased by 14.9°C, but with OnePlus' cooler, the temperature actually decreased by 7.3°C, delivering outstanding results. Overall, this cooler is a great choice for hardcore gamers, game streamers, and similar users.

Summary of ChargerLAB

This basically covers all the accessories that we know of that have excellent build quality, good reviews, and are compatible with the iPhone 15 series. We will also update this buying guide from time to time in the future. Stay tuned for more!

Among the ten products, only one has a capacity of less than 10,000mAh, specifically 6,000mAh, making it a portable product suitable for weekend outings. Four products have capacities around 10,000mAh, offering a good balance between portability and endurance, suitable for various occasions such as short trips and hiking. Five products have capacities ranging from 20,000 to 30,000mAh, providing longer battery life.

All ten products are sold individually, with prices ranging from the cheapest at 18.99 euros to the most expensive at 37.99 euros. In terms of product types, all ten products belong to the traditional form of power banks. Two of them support MagSafe charging, allowing them to directly attach to iPhones.

In terms of brands, well-known brands like Anker and Baseus each have one product on the list, with ratings above 4.3. Interestingly, Anker's popularity in Germany seems to be not as high as it is in the United States and Japan.

Well, that concludes all the content of this edition of the Amazon Germany power bank list. Until next time!

Check Out These Seven Useful USB-C Hubs for the iPhone 15 Series https://www.chargerlab.com/check-out-these-seven-useful-usb-c-hubs-for-the-iphone-15-series/ Sat, 18 Nov 2023 01:48:00 +0000 https://www.chargerlab.com/?p=20868

Introduction

The iPhone 15 series, featuring the transition to USB-C, has made a significant leap in expandability compared to its predecessors. When coupled with a USB-C hub, users can connect various peripherals, including keyboards, mice, monitors, SD/TF cards, external hard drives, and even Ethernet cables. In a previous article, we shared our experience with the iPhone 15 Pro Max using a USB-C hub with an Ethernet port. Today, we will introduce several well-reputed USB-C hubs that support the iPhone 15 series. They are listed in alphabetical order.

It's worth noting that when connecting a substantial number of peripherals to the iPhone 15 series via a USB-C hub, the limited output power of approximately 5W may cause some accessories to function abnormally. In such cases, it is strongly recommended to connect additional power sources, such as power adapters or power banks.

Product Introduction

Anker

Anker 332 USB-C Hub (5-in-1) 

In terms of design, the Anker USB-C hub departs from the conventional square shape seen in the market, opting for a more rounded and ergonomic design with a smooth texture, making it comfortable to hold and easy to carry.

Check Out These Seven Useful USB-C Hubs for the iPhone 15 Series-Chargerlab

This USB-C hub features two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, and an HDMI port supporting 4K@30Hz. USB-C1 port is only suitable for 100W PD charging and doesn't support data transfer, while USB-C2 and the other two USB-A ports support high-speed 5Gbps data transmission for devices like mice and hard drives. Moreover, it offers an impressive output of up to 85W, suitable for powering not only the iPhone 15 series but also meeting the needs of most business laptops.

Anker 552 USB-C Hub (9-in-1)

If the five additional ports are insufficient for your extensive array of electronic devices, consider the 9-in-1 hub. It takes design a step further with a premium gray-black contrast and includes a circular switch. Its output cable is woven for enhanced durability.

In terms of specs, it features three USB-A ports (one being USB 3.2 Gen1), two USB-C ports, an HDMI 1.4 port supporting 4K@30Hz, an Ethernet port with a transfer rate of up to 10Gbps, making it suitable for maximizing the transmission capabilities of the iPhone 15 Pro series. It also offers a maximum input and output power of 100W and 85W, making it an excellent choice for users with more extensive expansion needs and a generous budget.

Baseus

Baseus 7-in-1 USB-C Hub

This Baseus USB-C hub is constructed from aluminum alloy, which is good for heat dissipation. Its output cable, like the Anker 552, is woven for durability. It features a blue indicator light to indicate normal operation. Additionally, when not in use, you can neatly stow the output cable in the device's groove, effectively transforming it into a hanging cord for convenient storage.

Check Out These Seven Useful USB-C Hubs for the iPhone 15 Series-Chargerlab

In terms of performance, it features three USB-A ports with 5Gbps specifications, a PD 100W input USB-C port, and two SD card readers. Notably, its HDMI port surpasses the previous two, supporting 4K at 60Hz.

Belkin

Belkin 7-in-1 USB-C Hub

This hub from Belkin is entirely constructed from metal, enhancing both the tactile feel and heat dissipation. All its ports are conveniently placed on one side of the device for a clean and clutter-free user experience.

Check Out These Seven Useful USB-C Hubs for the iPhone 15 Series-Chargerlab

It features a 4K@30Hz HDMI port, two 5Gbps USB-A ports, a 100W input and 85W output USB-C port, and SD/TF card slots. What sets it apart is the inclusion of a 3.5mm audio jack, ideal for the iPhone series that hasn't had this feature for seven years. Of course, it can also connect to computers, tablets, and other devices.

DockCase

DockCase USB C Visual Smart Hub 7-in-1

This hub from the lesser-known brand, DockCase, is somewhat unique. While it's made from aluminum-zinc alloy, its surface feels like glass. Its most notable feature is the colorful display on top, allowing users to view various device connection protocols, real-time bandwidth, screen mirroring specs, and charging power. The display can also rotate 90 degrees, bearing a striking resemblance to our own ChargerLAB POWER-Z KM003C.

Check Out These Seven Useful USB-C Hubs for the iPhone 15 Series-Chargerlab

It offers a 100W PD input USB-C port, three USB ports with 5Gbps transfer specifications, and a 4K@60Hz HDMI port, along with two SD card readers and a gigabit Ethernet port. It is compatible with common devices like tablets and computers, but it should be noted that it requires additional power to work correctly with the iPhone 15 series.

MOMAX

MOMAX ONELINK 8-in-1 USB-C Hub

The MOMAX hub is made of ABS and aluminum alloy and features a striped design resembling a mini travel case. Its output cable is woven for durability. One of its unique functions is the presence of a screen-off button, which allows users to quickly turn off screen mirroring during meetings to safeguard sensitive work files.

Check Out These Seven Useful USB-C Hubs for the iPhone 15 Series-Chargerlab

It includes a PD 100W charging USB-C port, a 4K@60Hz HDMI port, three USB ports with 5Gbps specs, SD/TF card slots, and an RJ45 Ethernet port. The side rope can also serve as cable management, allowing you to secure the USB-C output cable when not in use, ensuring a tidy and organized desktop.

UGREEN

UGREEN 9-in-1 USB C Hub

Just like the Anker 552, this UGREEN hub also offers nine ports, including an Ethernet port. Moreover, its USB-C output cable can be conveniently stored in a specially designed groove at the bottom when not in use, making it very user-friendly.

Check Out These Seven Useful USB-C Hubs for the iPhone 15 Series-Chargerlab

Its USB ports support PD 100W input, and it features TF/MicroSD card slots for reading photos, videos, and other data. The three 5Gbps USB-A ports can not only transfer data but also expand connectivity for peripherals like mice and keyboards. Its most notable feature is the presence of both HDMI and VGA video output ports, which means you can connect a new 4K30Hz monitor and an old 1080P monitor simultaneously, making it very practical. It is also compatible with the iPhone 15 series.

Summary of ChargerLAB

In summary, these USB-C hubs offer various advantages in terms of appearance and functionality. Let's analyze their strengths.

Let's start with the variety of interfaces. If you have a multitude of electronic devices or accessories, you might consider Anker 552 and UGREEN, both of which offer as many as nine ports. MOMAX's hub features a one-click screen-off function for added privacy. Apart from Anker 332, all the other hubs come with SD/TF card slots, which are crucial for photography enthusiasts who frequently use cameras. Belkin's 7-in-1 USB-C hub, with a 3.5mm headphone jack, is suitable for users who want to enjoy better audio quality with wired headphones on the iPhone 15 series. Those seeking a high-speed and stable wired network connection on the iPhone 15 can choose from Anker 552, MOMAX, and UGREEN. Additionally, UGREEN's hub includes a VGA port, which is worth mentioning.

It's worth noting that MOMAX and DOCKCASE hubs require additional power connections to function correctly with the iPhone 15.

Best-Selling Portable Power Stations on Amazon US in October 2023 https://www.chargerlab.com/best-selling-portable-power-stations-on-amazon-us-in-october-2023/ Wed, 01 Nov 2023 01:57:13 +0000 https://www.chargerlab.com/?p=20428

Introduction

Amazon is a multinational technology and e-commerce company based in the United States. It was founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994 and has grown to become one of the world's largest online retailers. In 2023, Amazon's market share in the United States reached 37.6%, dominating the online shopping space. While Amazon initially focused on selling books, it now offers a wide range of products, including those related to charging.

Portable power stations have gained popularity in the USA due to their versatile applications. They serve as essential tools for emergency preparedness during power outages and natural disasters, while also catering to the increasing demand for off-grid and sustainable living, outdoor adventures, and remote work and travel. They offer a convenient and reliable source of electricity, making them a popular choice across a range of American lifestyles and needs.

Our method of ranking is slightly different due to Amazon's product categorization, which doesn't include a standalone category for "portable power stations." Instead, they are included within the "Outdoor Generators & Portable Power" category. We manually excluded diesel and gasoline generators, although they make up a small percentage and are environmentally polluting. In fact, we conducted a ranking of portable power stations on Amazon US approximately a year ago, with Jackery got four positions. Has there been any change since then? Let's find out. The statistics for this ranking were collected on October 16, 2023, and the product prices, ratings, and review counts are as of that date.
