HI all,
For awhile I've been researching all in one USB c chargers with multiple charge ports. In an ideal world I would like to fast charge or even just charge my new mbp 14, an ipad Air 4 (I think) and an iPhone 12 mini at their maximum charge rates. I'm surprised at the lack of usb c chargers for that scenario. I find 2 usb c port chargers etc. There is the Hyperjuice , I supported OMEGA last year (still waiting) but I haven't seen an Anker that can charge 3 - 4 devices. I have a Ravpower that I like that I use with two ports for ipad and iphone. Is it a specification issue, too much heat being generated ? OR ??? Maybe there are these type of chargers and I'm just missing them?
Thanks for some insights.
Second: I know a lot of people use laptops with external screens. I had a Powerbook duo (what a brilliant concept, I still feel that would make a great version to this day) so I consider myself an early adopter. I got away from them because I didn't want to abuse my battery in keeping it plugged in all the time or remember to plug/unplug. So I got used to having a Desktop and laptop. Dropbox etc made it easier than ever to sync stuff up and I started to have specific usages for each machine. But my iMac is starting to die and I'm going to hold out for the (hopefully) larger iMac / iMac pro. My guess is that I will need to bridge the gap with an external monitor solution with my mbp 14. So I'm looking for some external screen recommendations. I do not need creator level or pro monitors. Just a nice/solid screen. I would then repurpose it as a second screen for my future imac (I love a 2 screen Desktop setup).
Also do new laptops in clamshell mode somehow protect the batteries? Any other tips from people that have gone down this road ?
Thanks for any and all insight and recommendations
