In the box, the Belkin BOOST↑CHARGE PRO 4-Port GaN Charger 108W comes with just an adapter and a 2 meter power cable, a US plug (2 flat pins), and a basic user guide.
The design of the Belkin BOOST↑CHARGE PRO 4-Port GaN Charger 108W Adapter is plain white. I think it’s a design that goes well with Apple devices. It has a charging port, a power port, and a rubber pad. Slip at the bottom 4 points
This adapter To be honest, it’s designed for tabletop use. That does not focus on moving often with the weight of the adapter 349 grams with the size of the body that I think is quite large. Ask if you can carry it outside to use. I can carry it. but probably not very convenient
On the other hand, if it is a travel trip Or going to work on the field, I think Belkin BOOST↑CHARGE PRO 4-Port GaN Charger 108W is the end. Like before I write a review on this adapter. I have taken it for a short trip of 2 days and 1 night. Carry only one adapter. Charges all devices including MacBook, iPhone, AirPods and Apple Watch.
for charging port There will be a total of 4 ports, and each port will specify how much power can be supplied. And if you notice carefully, it will be a pairing between 2 USB Type-C ports and 2 USB Type-A ports. Of course, the power level. It will depend on when charging. How many devices are charged at the same time? But the overall power will not exceed 108W.
USB Type-C charging port 1 on the far left (96W MAX | 65W) is designed for charging high-powered devices such as MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, laptop (charge with USB-PD 3.0) at maximum power. 96W, so compared to MacBook charging, it supports charging from MacBook Air M1, MacBook Air M2 to MacBook Pro 16.
The USB Type-C 2 port, which says 30W, focuses on fast charging for devices such as iPhone, iPad, smartphones or tablets. Will share power from the first port. If charging 2 USB Type-C ports at the same time, from the original left-most port, it can deliver 96W of power, it will reduce the power to 65W. In actual use, it still charges MacBook-type devices, Laptop as usual Just slower charging in the case of MacBook Pro 14, MacBook Pro 16, but if it’s MacBook Air M1, M2, I don’t think it has much effect.
I tried charging my MacBook Air M1 while sitting at work. And while charging with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4, it was found that the charging rate to the MacBook Air M1 is not different from using the adapter attached to the Mac, since the MacBook Air M1, M2 provide a 30W adapter, but It itself supports charging up to 67W, while charging the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 is fast charging.
As for charging via the supplied 2 USB Type-A ports, it can be charged at a maximum power of 12W, which is shared between 2 ports. In a nutshell, if charging only one USB Type-A port It can supply full 12W (5V 2.4A), meaning you can charge your iPhone or iPad, but if you charge 2 ports at the same time, it will share power. It’s basic charging. About Apple’s 5W adapter, so I think that the USB Type-A port is more suitable for charging gadgets such as AirPods, Apple Watch.
The safety concerns are gone. Even if all ports are fully charged But the heat coming out of the adapter is not terribly hot. With GaN (Gallium nitride) technology that delivers more power. Less heat than silicon semiconductors And a brand like Belkin itself is a brand that has a high standard. chargers of this brand Passed international standards such as USB-IF, Apple MFi
Warranty matters It’s fierce in the style of Belkin Thailand, which is a 2-year long warranty, only losing claims, changing a new one, no repairs, and from the experience that has previously claimed this brand’s products, it’s easy to claim. You can send a claim by post. Then really get a new product, but have to keep the box. with the receipt as evidence in the claim
Another device that Belkin sent in for testing along with the Belkin BOOST↑CHARGE PRO 4-Port GaN Charger 108W was the new Belkin BOOST↑CHARGE USB-C to USB-C Cable 100W Braided Cable. Supports power up to 100W, available in 2 colors, white and black, and has a length of 2 meters and 3 meters.
I tested it with a MacBook Air M1 charger and a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 smartphone. It charges both devices very well. The USB Type-C charging port is not too large. I tried switching to charge the iPad Air M1, the case can be charged. without having to remove the case
durability Usually, the cable is a braided cable, it is already very durable. I am currently using the previous Belkin USB Type-C cable, 3 years of use and still working fine. Just the cable, it’s old over time only. As for durability, the Belkin BOOST↑CHARGE USB-C to USB-C Cable 100W is specced with 25,000 bend tests and is USB-IF certified. adapter If damaged, claim to change a new piece only.
