Uber-Tiny Laptop Adapters

The FINsix Laptop Adapter Launched at CES 2014

— January 13, 2014 — Tech
The tiny compact ‘FINsix’ laptop adapter by start-up tech company is another magnificent new tech gadget to come out of CES 2014. There is nothing worse than lugging around a heavy laptop along with its assistant -- “the bulky adapter." Sporting a lighter laptop adapter would dramatically reduce the weight of one’s daily carrying load.

Embedded with MIT’s VHF (very high frequency) switching technology means it’s a thousand times faster than almost all adapters on the market today. The FINsix laptop adapter is equipped with a nifty 2.1A USB port for additional device charging, and both the laptop plug and port can be used at the same time.

The FINsix laptop adapter is four times smaller and six times lighter than the average MacBook or PC adapter. The FINsix laptop adapter seems like a sensible new alternative for lightening up the load and for maximized dual charging purposes.
