FIN six DAR T-C

A smaller MacBook charger

$99.99 Manufacturer FINsix, finsix.com Features 65W, USB-C male, USB-A female

A big draw of Apple’s newest notebooks is that they’re more portable – but their power adapters are still the same bricks, mostly. The FINsix DART-C fixes that for 12-inch MacBooks and 13-inch MacBook Pros (it’s rated at 65W, enough for those two, but the 15-inch model’s adaptor is 87W, so you could only slow-charge it). It’s a small, light power adapter with a 6-foot USB-C cable which works great: It charged a 12-inch MacBook from dead to 100% in two hours, without getting overly hot (just warm).

The potential downside is that it uses its own proprietary cable, but that fact does give it one more trick up its sleeve: The cable has a female USB connector, so you can charge your iPhone (or another device) from it while charging your notebook. However, while this is rated high enough for iPads, our 9.7-inch iPad Pro didn’t get any charge from it in practice. The DART-C also comes with a Velcro cable wrap, microfiber bag, and is rated for worldwide use.

the bottom line. A great, travel-friendly MacBook charger.
