Review on πŸ”Œ REEYEAR USB C Compatible for Microsoft Surface Book by Andre Bennett

Revainrating 4 out of 5

works (somewhat) as advertised, although the cable itself is quite thin

I was very excited when I first received the cable, I can now use USB-C to connect my Surface Pro Charge Gen 8. The peak power that I was able to achieve is around 40 watts compared to the nominal power of 45 watts. The best thing about using a cable is that I can now use a portable battery (albeit a slow one) to charge my computer. The cable itself seems flimsy, I think the cable should be handled with care (i.e. don't kink it near the connector). The cable gets quite hot when charging, but I assume this is just normal heat dissipation. Overall I'm still happy with the purchase, it worked (sort of) as advertised although it doesn't charge at the advertised speed and its flimsy build you can't beat the price.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • only available in black
