The majority of laptop chargers are quite large and bulky in design, so the 'DART-C' is intended to help change this and provide users with a piece of equipment that's much more compact.

The 'DART-C' works with USB Type-C laptops that charge via this kind of port to eliminate the need for bulky pieces of equipment. The 'DART-C' is compatible with the new Apple MacBook and [MacBook Pro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cuktech) laptops as well as the [Lenovo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lenovo-thinkbook-wireless-dock) ThinkPad 13 the Dell [XPS 13](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dell-xps13-plus) and the ASIS ZenBook 3.

The 'DART-C' laptop chargers feature a six-foot cable and have a 65W charging capability, while the unit itself is set to be available in an array of color options. The 'DART-C' is set to launch in January 2017.
