I think 30w would be plenty to charge most laptops when they're not in use, shouldn't take more than 3-4 hrs max. The challenge would be to keep a power hungry laptop fully charged while in use, so intermittent use should be sustainable.
Only pushes 30W through USB-C. Not enough to charge most laptops. I was excited for a minute. Still could be useful for charging other devices in a hotel with not enough plugs or maybe on a cruise?
USB 1 and 2: 500 mA @ 5V = 2.5 Watts (amps * volts = watts)
USB 3: 900 mA @ 5V = 4.5 W
That's why high-wattage devices like CD burners needed to plug into two USB ports.
10 W for two USB-A ports combined is the max you can get. The phone/tablet chargers which delivered higher wattages weren't standard USB-A. They typically used an extra-long plug which would mate with higher voltage contacts, to deliver higher power if you used that charger, that cable, and that device.
USB-PD (often used on USB-C) delivers higher power by negotiating with the device to deliver power at a higher voltage. (The amperage is limited by the diameter and length of the wire.)
After Black Friday, it is now $14.99 with an additional 5% off coupon for ~$14.24. Doesn't seem like much of a deal now.
I messed up the coupon code and bought it for MSRP. Even at the Black Friday price, I thought I was getting a good deal and I'd just find a use for it. I guess this is just the regular price.

Worth noting that if you use all 3 USB ports at once, that the USB-C caps at 20W and the two USB-A ports caps at a *combined* 10W.

The reason cd burners used two was because they had to assume the output was the minimum since most people won't know what their ports are capable of.

I was going to replace a wall tap w/USB ports [costco.com] I have by my bed thinking this would be better but it really isn't.
I would have kept it despite messing up the coupon but this fake sale kind of annoys me.
