Design

The RAVPower 120W 4-port charging station is meant to sit your desktop and supply power to your laptops, phones and tablets. Thankfully, there is no power brick to sit on the floor or oversized plug to block your outlets. The unit is fairly self-contained besides the AC input cord.

The dimensions of the charging block are 3.3 x 1.8 x 1.8in. It doesn’t take up much room on your desk and the two USB-C and two USB-A ports are located conveniently on the front.

Features

  • Two USB-C ports: This allows you to charge two devices at the same time, such as two laptops. When a single port is in use, the charger can output up to 100 watts, but when charging two devices, then each USB-C port receives a maximum of 60 watts (120 watts total).
  • Two USB-A ports: In addition to charging USB-C devices, this RAVPower charger can also charge your phones and tablets thanks to the two “regular” USB-A ports on the front.
  • Dim LED: The green LED is dim and shouldn’t keep you up at night if you’re using the charger in the bedroom.
