The Inergie 60C must be one as well, it's too small to be anything else. Also, the finsix dart is GaN but it's not USB C.

I am an idiot, the dart is not GaN, it's SiC. https://www.pntpower.com/5-reasons-why-avogy-and-finsix-put-...

Thanks for following up (a week later—that never happens on HN). Since you're an enthusiast, it's worth mentioning that the atom pd1 is now shipping. Just a heads-up if you were interested in grabbing one.

Thanks for the additions.

Didn't think of the Dart since it's been around for a while. That has to be one of (the?) first GaN chargers to market?

That and the now defunct Zolt were the first ones, yes.

Thanks, That is absolutely brilliant! I wonder why these product don't get much media coverage at all.

Turns out Discovery and Distribution aren't really a solved problem at all in the world of Internet.

I just wish some of these had two port though. I am starting to wonder if there will be hotels adopting USB-C as Charging standards and provides Port for it.

When Innergie was running their Kickstarter, then named 55CC, they were getting some coverage in 2017. It retails now as Innergie 60C. They also sell a Magicable with it which makes the charger usable with many older non USB-C laptops but alas it seems it's only for the Innergie charger only , it's not a standard part. Lenovo has a similar USB C to older "slim tip" cable, the 03X7530, which they claim -- but so far this is unverified -- to be a standard part. It ships with their power bank, independently it seems to be unobtanium at this point.

Absolutely not, I am trying to find a shoulder bag for my new on call kit (the One Mix Yoga 2S makes it possible for me to not haul a 14" laptop for once-in-three-months-but-need-to-answer-them-immediately emergencies), the upcoming Dasung not-eReader will be a monitor for it) and it's amazing how much crap simple search finds and you need forums and reddit to find anything useful. There's no search engine for bags by dimensions, even worse, many webpages for bags do not have pocket dimensions on them (sometimes even the amount of pockets is unclear!) and I am like, why do you even have a webpage? Maxpedition is the gold standard for the latter (look at the dimensions tab of https://www.maxpedition.com/products/beefy-pocket-organizer?... ) but they don't have a by dimension search either. This is https://www.pacsafe.com/metrosafe-ls100-anti-theft-cross-bod... typical of a terrible web page. It touts the anti theft features but what you can pack in there is a total mystery. The photo makes it well visible there are two compartments but how big they are? You won't learn it from this page for sure. Finally, neither manufacturers nor bag reviwers will pack a bag to the gills and take a trip to the nearest airport and put the bag in a cage and show whether it fits personal item, carry on size or not. This would be, you know, useful.

As for two ports, check the Maru & Masa kickstarter.
