Modern laptops, especially those with an apple on them, have fewer and fewer ports these days. ADG tries to solve this lack of connectivity with a clever yet powerful 100W charging brick that also doubles as a 9-in-1 USB-C hub. External USB hubs, Thunderbolt docks and other devices are usually placed on a desk and connected to a laptop on one side and a dedicated power supply on the other. The result? A lot of cables on your desk. The ADG 100W GaN (Gallium Nitride) charger tries to solve this by combining the power brick and the hub into one accessory. The ADG 100W GaN Charer in aciton.

Perhaps this is a more stationary solution, but I think any of the bigger hubs / docks are primarily stationary devices. Using the so-called GaN technology, ADG was able to reduce the overall size to a bare minimum yet still pack 9 ports lus the power supply into this one unit. Once connected to the host compuer using the USB-C port #2 (100W Power Delivery plus hub), this is what you get in terms of connectivity: 1 x USB-C 100W Max PD1 x USB-C 30W Max PD & Hub1 x USB-A 7.5W Max Hub1 x HDMI 4K@60Hz...
