Priced to clear. Not available online but I managed to pick one up instore so check your store if there are any stock.
Someone did post a site where they could check if there is stock nationwide using a barcode I believe. Officeworks Stock Checker.
Let me know when this expires or fully out of stock.
Yep that too @45W
The google adapter has a smaller chance of doing the blowy uppy. Although it isn’t much of a deal, both anker and ugreen have more compact 30w chargers at the same price, albeit from amazon.
@jpeg-jpg: Yep. Funny enough my replacement blew up yesterday. Second one within a year. Waiting in google support to hopefully replace it again
@King Tightarse: The 45W Ikea model is better at $25. Built like a tank and has full aluminum heatsink inside even better than some $60 - $80 super premium chargers. The $10 30W Ikea one is built down to a price but still better than Chinese no name brands and good to have to throw in the bag or when traveling.
Literally 45 watts for teh second charger- not sure that the neg is supposed to be about
Samsung, Google, Apple, Nothing, Motorola, Vivo, sometimes Xiaomi, Sony, (profanity) Sony, put the charger in the box, where it belongs.
Reduces the box size to lower shipping costs to become carbon neutral my ar$e.
This was a money grab by Apple, and most people know it. And when one company gets away with it, the rest follows suits.
I'm not sold on the quality of the 30W adapters, my 18w from the pixel 2 xl is still going.
I've had 2 of these blow up on me (literally smoke coming out of them), the second one being a brand new replacement for the first. I also know of at least 3 of these failing from friends and family.
Anyway, that's just my 2c. I don't believe these are very reliable.
Thanks OP! Managed to Click and Collect one at my local OW.
U green $22 plus GaN, in 2024 I wouldn’t buy any power adapter thats not GaN..
I wouldn’t buy any power adapter thats not GaN..
Why?
In Short..
Its smaller in size, generate less heat, they can carry more power, switch faster (around 40 million times a second, roughly four times faster than silicon transistors), and they are much more power efficient.
In Detail…
What are the real world advantages of GaN tech?
The reduction in transistor size means that newer GaN USB chargers can be physically smaller than the older silicon technology chargers. And while it's nice to have smaller chargers, it is the increased efficiency that is the most important factor when it comes to USB chargers because the more efficient an electronic component is, the less waste heat it generates.
And the less waste heat generated, the lower the chances of overheating and the less cooling that is required to keep the charger operating safely.
Consumers are, understandably, concerned when chargers feel hot to the touch. While it is common for chargers that use silicon transistors to get to the point of almost being too hot to touch, I find it rare for a charger using GaN technology to feel mildly warm.
The faster switching also means that a GaN transistor inside a charger can have better control over the charging and respond to events such as overheating or overvoltage much quicker than older transistors could.
This greater efficiency and faster switching are critical for modern USB-C chargers because USB-C carries even increasing power loads, with 100W loads per port and above now being commonplace, and 240W chargers soon to be a reality.
Another advantage is that a single charger can have multiple high-output ports, such as the Ugreen 300W 5-port GaN desktop charging station, which has USB-C ports capable of 140W and 100W, so one GaN charger can replace a whole pile of older chargers.
