High Power and great for travel
I'm undecided where to put this because it's better than I expected.For starters it has a good amount of ports and they are the latest specs. The C ports are proper PD and the A ports are proper QC3 ports. Best of all you can get the highest output out of any of the ports, one isn't rated any different from the other so you don't have to remember to use the top one or whatever.I tested all the ports with a USB soldering iron with custom firmware, the A ports can output 30W if the device requests it and the C ports can output up to 65 (It was tricky to capture since it heated up so fast and idled).Remember that the 65W max is shared between whatever you have plugged in but for me this would be great on the workbench to power the soldering iron or projects via a PD trigger device as pictures as well as charging phones or tablets at the same time. Equally I'm not sure if I just want to keep it in my travel bag for hotels, it would be great to use one plug to charge up my work laptop, phone, smartwatch and Nintendo Switch at the same time!Build quality is great, there's a small unobtrusive LED to indicate power, the mains cable is included but no USB cables, one would have been a nice gesture however I still think this is worth the price they're asking. Took a gamble because I really like my RAVpower bank with PD and this charger doesn't disappoint either.If you want multiple high power charging ports on one plug then go for it.

Superp charger and very compact
I’ve been after a decent charger for awhile now. Having more and more USB-C devices I thought it time to upgrade from my 45w USB-A charger.This is the smallest, most powerful and useful charger I’ve opened to date. I was shocked at how small it is and easily fits in the palm of your hand.Two USB-A and two USB-C with a total output of 65w are a great feature set and unlike some cheaper versions, this actually delivers in what it states. Be aware that if you want to use the maximum 65w you need to ensure no other devices are attached or the USB-C port will drop to 45w.Each port is a very snug fit so you need to have a good grip when inserting and removing a cable. I’ve tested my Thunderbolt 3 cable and delivers with no issues.Highly recommend this.

Power 4 devices at once and warm your hands
Having bought RavPower devices before, didn’t have a problem taking the plunge with one of these RavPower 65W PD 4-Port Desktop USB Charging Stations. I was originally planning to buy an iPad Pro charger but figured one of these would be able to charge an additional three devices.The draw to this charger was the two USB-C PD ports (Power Distribution) which is sufficient for powering bigger devices like laptops / Macbooks. It also has two USB A ports, which are Smart ports. These offer more intelligent charging so distribute power based on the devices’ requirements, as opposed to fast charging.On opening, the box, you’re presented with a very premium-looking power block. It’s compact enough to hold in your hand, which is good as I didn’t want another bulky charger. Looks very stylish so not unsightly on your desk.I proceeded to charge my iPad Pro, Smartphone, a ChromeBook and an Amazon Fire tablet. The Chromebook went on slow charge but the phone and the iPad charged quite quickly. Fully charged my phone from about 30% in about an hour and iPad Pro up to 80% from 3% at the same time. My Fire HD 8, much slower to charge but that doesn’t support any fast charging capabilities so would be normal. The RavPower got pretty warm while charging multiple devices but doesn’t get hot enough to burn your hands like some cheap chargers (can act as a nice handwarmer in the winter!) The charge speed will also depend on the cables and the device capabilities but it seemed fully capable of charging multiple devices at a time anyway so no complaints there.Came with a UK power cable but you’d need your own charge cables. To conclude, it’s a really high quality charger for those looking for a compact charger to charge multiple devices, if you already have your own cables and just need the power block. It should work with a Macbook but I don’t own one to test. It provides 65W of power so would be sufficient for laptops (Macbook USB C chargers are 61W). Good product. Recommended.

Unreliable, Temperamental & Slow
This is just a desk charger. Hardly an advanced piece of electrical engineering.It’s cheap and looks nice.So, what could go wrong right?Well, for a charger not to be able to charge fast or reliability i.e. its basic functions!To date, I have not had one piece of electronic devices that it manages to charge “fast”. It does charge but frequently slower than the standard charger.And then there are some items that it simply refuses to charge like my Dell XPS (latest 2020 model) and my LG V30.I also have an Asus tablet that it sometimes deign chargeable and sometimes refuse to charge.Usually unplugging and replugging it a few times solve this problem but it is just too unreliable. It’s cheap but its just junk.

Powerful and small very useful 4 way USB charger
This is much better than I expected as it's size is so compact. I needed a multi charger that could be plugged in to the wall via a cable so I can us it on my desk which is in front of the wall sockets. I Have other chargers that plugs directly into the wall socket, like ones that come with mobiles, but as they protrude from the wall they are no good behind desks or shelves. This however uses a normal plug and gives 4 charging options which is perfect for what I need. The 2 PD ports are great, they give different outputs so if you have something that takes advantage of the more powerful socket make sure you use that one! It also has two normal USB which means you can charge pretty much any modem tech.For me it allows less cable mess and the need for wall sockets or bulky plug adaptor leads. I was toying with this one or another makes but this had 2 USB-C sockets and more power, I thought this was going to be bigger and was very happy when I opened it. I also now have multiple RavPower products and so far all of them have been great, normally better than expected. It feels well built and looks nice and the small size is great. I've taken some photos of it next to it's normal UK plug to show its actual size.
