This is 65W total for the USB(A/C) ports (the Type B socket is up to 1625W).
Many laptops use 65W, so while charging a laptop via a USB port, you won't be able to charge anything else via a USB port.
If you charge other things along with a laptop (that requires 65W), it may keep the laptop powered on, but it won't charge the laptop battery.

If you're looking to charge a laptop and a tablet/phone, you'd be better off with something like this, which is 100W total:

Is slickeals anything more than staff advertisement for garbage products? These days? Jesus. This is gas station usb charger level nonsense. Something that when I go to my aunts house and ask for a charger she hands me and I spend the next hour debating which I want to do... Risk my phone being killed, or go through an hour of family gathering without my phone.

You know what goes bad with chargers most often? The terminus of the cable where it plugs into your device. So yeah, lets go ahead and build that into our charger and make it non replaceable. So as soon as that dies, the whole thing is worthless.

I've been using a Baseus 65w 3 port GAN charger for about 3 years, still works just fine. I am happy with it.

This seems like a good product, except I wish it had a way to clamp the tower to the desk so it'll be easier to plug in without moving it.

interesting you'd jump to that conclusion, but ok. Sometimes people try to be funny you know... but keep being angry!

This strikes me as a novelty item... something a person buys on impulse.

I mean look at how it is configured. A block style, with two grounded AC plug outlets on opposite sides and one non-grounded AC outlet on the back, with forward facing USB outlets. This thing will take up an awful lot of real estate. Sure, it's a good price for what you get ... but wouldn't it be a whole lot easier if you bought something else? Biker

I bought one for my mom, and she actually really likes it because the retractable USB C cable keeps your desk pretty tidy. The other stuff is just a bonus and doesn't get used much. Don't buy this if you're not getting it for the retractable cable.

I disagree. First off… You should not be afraid of USB-C killing your phone. The phone-side will negotiate which voltage it allows. Second, the first thing that fails for me is to find a USB-C to USB-C cord, because someone (like my kids) ran off with mine. With this design you can still use your own cord, but if you can't find it, you at least have a backup. I would use it as a backup or with something that stays plugged in like a switch dock or laptop dock.

It may not fit your use case, but that doesn't necessarily make it a bad design.

I didn't see a review of this specific product, but this YT channel [youtube.com] has been doing comprehensive reviews of chargers and power banks and Baseus often tests well and gets recommended.
