- asiachick 6y agowhich charger does USB-C smart charging on 3 or more ports and can provide however many wats the new MBP needs while also charging the other devices?
- dwaite 6y agoThere are no chargers on the market that have multiple ports and over 100W output across those ports, so you are pretty close just plugging the MBP in and the other devices into the MBP ports. With PD 3.0, I believe manufacturers now have the _capability_ to do what you are talking about, but I don't know of any products yet. FWIW, the closest I've seen so far is Hyppr's 100W 2-port charger. I use this in my bedroom to have a phone/watch charging stand and a free USB-C cable for the iPad. However, it does a straight 45W split with two devices attached - neither the charging stand nor iPad need 45W though.
- emptyparadise 6y agoFunny that you brought up the Switch, because its USB-C port is a huge mess: https://switchchargers.com/faq/ https://switchchargers.com/faq/ - you won't, for example, be able to use the same cable to connect both your laptop and your Switch to a monitor. You're also advised against using some laptop chargers. And so on.
