CES 2020: Aukey launches a major alternative to the MacBook Pro charger

TheConsumer Electronics Show(CES) in Las Vegas has, since 1967, become the largest global event presenting new technologies to the general public. Many brands have a stand there to unveil their most recent products to the press and visitors.Aukeyis one of them; the company was established in 2005 and reportedly has annual revenue of $7 million.

Among the models introduced this week, its range ofchargersstands out from the crowd thanks to innovative operation that minimizes the size of the components. This calls forgallium nitride(GaN), a broadband semiconductor, in its structure. The prices of these tools have not yet been communicated by their seller, but they are currently being discovered in Nevada.

Technical specifications

If Aukey chargers aresmaller than Apple's, this in no way changes their power. In fact, it risesup to 100W, also with 61W and 65W versions. And for theMacBook Pro 16″, for example, the USB-C power adapter sticks to 96W. We are therefore facing a solution as effective - on paper - as that of Apple, while being more practical for traveling light. What more could you ask for? Some iterations even offertwo female ports, allowing you to fill the battery of several devices at the same time, such as a smartphone and a computer.

The set has a name:Omnia, but it is still not available on the manufacturer's website, neither in the form of a landing page* nor for pre-order. The launch is therefore planned for the second quarter of 2020: which gives time to look at what the competition is doing to judge the interest of such a purchase. What price would be fairest? Giventhose practiced by Belkin, we can assume that it will be at least50 euros, both manufacturers being based in China. Finally, note that at Anker, another very well-made brand in the sector, you can count on around €40 on Amazon.
