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?
Now up to $18, which is 10% off.

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.

Quote from Solandri :
Technically, USB-A is only supposed to put out:

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.)
You know standards get revisions, right? That hasn't been true since spec 1.1 in 2007. [wikipedia.org]

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.

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.

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.
