Startup Made in Mind claims to have a slim charging solution for all devices, including laptops-- the Mu One, a USB-C charger able to support USB Power Delivery with maximum voltage reaching 20V.
The Mu one can be used with all devices, including USB-C laptops such as the latest Apple MacBooks. It is the brainchild of Min-Kyu Choi, the creator of a foldable USB-enabled UK plug, and comes with interchangeable plugs, a fully-foldable UK plug, a hinged European plug and a low-profile US plug. The result is a charger just 14mm thick when folded and weighing 80g.
The maker says the Mu One is so small thanks to power controller specialist Navitas and gallium nitride (GaN), a material able to handle such power in a small form factor with 94% efficiency. It also carries a chip able to detect the platform of the connected device in order to provide appropriate power settings, and a controller able to switch USB Power Delivery mode if the device can handle it.
The Mu One is currently available on a preorder basis via Kickstarter, with shipments set to start from September 2018.
