Razer Launches MagSafe-Compatible Laptop Sleeve for Charging Your iPhone and AirPods

[MacRumors]

Razer today introduced a new 16-inch laptop sleeve that has an integrated wireless charging feature for smartphones and other small devices like earbuds. Priced at $130, the sleeve includes two MagSafe-compatible wireless charging zones, so it can charge an iPhone and AirPods at the same time.

The wireless charger is integrated into the top of the laptop sleeve, and the magnets serve as a clasp when the sleeve is closed and being used to transport a laptop. Power is delivered through a USB-C cable that can be plugged into a 30W+ power adapter or a Mac.

Charging speeds are limited to 15W, so you won't get full speed wireless charging on newer iPhones that support up to 25W wireless charging. The sleeve has one 15W charging spot for an iPhone and a 5W charging spot for the AirPods. It is not designed to charge two iPhones at once, both because there's just one 15W charger and because of space constraints.

There is built-in padding to keep a MacBook safe from drops, and a plush lining inside protects it from scratches. The exterior is black and made from a polyester material that's designed to resist wear and tear while also protecting a laptop from rain. Reinforced corners ensure no damage in case of accidental bumps.

The sleeve is sized to fit laptops up to 16 inches, so it works with Apple's 16-inch MacBook Pro.

The Razer Laptop Sleeve 16 With Wireless Charging for Devices can be purchased from the Razer website for $130.

Now this is actually a smart idea, albeit expensive.

Or…
I could use a normal bag / sleeve, and carry a cord / MagSafe puck for a lot less and charge faster.

I dig the concept, but man that price for slow charging. 😬

Was going to say the same thing...$20 sleeve on Amazon and plug your phone into your Mac or a charger JUST LIKE THIS $130 thing does.

I love how they release a sleeve for their 16" model and not for the 18"

 

[syklee26]

this is a good idea but wouldn't this add weight?

Exactly lol I was expecting it to be way more sleek and built in better, not a random chunky brick for $130. I don't remember the brand, but there is a way sleeker/cleaner looking sleeve that does the same (except with only one MagSafe puck) built it.

Or, as you said, get double the speed for a fraction of the price by using a regular sleeve and charger haha

How do those flat mats work for charging a 17 Pro? With the "plateau", the bulk of the phone rests slightly off of the mat.

 

[bluespark]

I don't get it. It uses a USB-C cord, so couldn't you just use the cord and not need this product?

 

[red elma]

What an inconvenient and unnecessary product 🙄
Like most people I know, I don’t carry my laptop in a sleeve. Why not just throw a compact MagSafe charger in your bag. It charges faster, cheaper, more compact, and is more convenient.

FFS I thought this damn thing had a power bank inside. This is the dumbest f—n thing 🙂

I have a desk mat that cost like $50 from baseus that has built in charging and is a desk mat. Works cool but is slow charging which is actually fine for the phone and AirPods to charge at the desk. Probably 85% of the same materials for far less. Although different use case. I do agree the idea is smart. Cannot wait until there’s truly wireless charging or even if the iPhone could charge AirPods and Apple Watch would be nice. One thing I think is stupid is that the Apple Watch needs a separate charger. Why can they not make it work with Qi2? Even if the MagSafe for iPhone charger had a second divot for charging the watch would be better than what Apple created.

Boy does Razer make a nice looking laptop.

 

[max2]

Stupidest idea ever in my opinion.

 

[B4U]

Oh, the AirPower? 🤣

 

[ursbraem]

I keep wondering why macbooks don‘t have a built in magsafe charging spot eg on the back of the screen

 

[CATiNTHESTORE]

Razer is the last company to look at…

 

[svish]

Interesting accesory. However charging speeds should have been higher. Price is on the higher side but then many wireless chargers do have a high price tag.

 

[DMG35]

Pretty cool idea. I just don't like the amount of bulk it adds. Plus its almost an additional pound of weight.

Adds to inefficiency.

albeit expensive.

Welcome to Razer! 👍

 

[Moukee]

Am I seeing this correctly? You have to "unfold" the sleeve (makes sense) but in the folded state the USB cable connecting the sleeve to the laptop can't stay connected so you have to re-plug it every time?

If that's the case I could just plug in my phone directly, same effort.

 

[CheffyDude]

Why do they call it "wireless charging" when it is obviously wired.

 

[thenahon]

"Charging speeds are limited to 15W"

Pass.

For people complaining about the price... Have you ever looked at Razr products before? They are usually some of the highest priced items in the market. They aren't the budget friendly brand. This seems pretty normal. They are the Yeti of the computer world.
