Good value for money, meets specifications

Comes in a plain box but is well protected. The device is packed in bubble wrap and almost the entire surface is protected by a high-quality plastic sleeve. It should be nearly impossible to get a device with surface defects. The device has a durable, high quality look with a beautiful finish. The American-style flip-out bin's tines "click" in the deployed position and are spring-loaded in the stowed position. So don't worry about the pins dangling or rattling. The cable isn't particularly good, but it's not cheap either. It mimics a Mac, slightly off-white, 3/16 inch thick, with a rubberized case. The plug requires deliberate pressure to insert into the charger, resulting in an audible and tactile "click" and an impressive grip. The cable is NOT accidentally pulled out of the charger; Removal requires a fair amount of force. I could NOT "shake" the charger off the end of the cable. the same storage. The output modes listed are 20.5V, 15V, 9V, and 5.2V, but the charger also supports 12V-3A at 36W. Voltages were within USB-C voltage specifications at maximum power. The 5.2V rail measured 4.746V, which is in the lower specification limit of 4.75V, but it's doable. I was also able to push this power supply beyond its 96W to 99.99W rating at 19.781V, 5.053A. [I did NOT measure the power efficiency in my day] Overall it's worth the money and should be as expected for any USB-C -compatible device will work. I am pleasantly surprised by this charger.
