Baseus Nomos charging stations debut with unique retractable cable and “world’s slimmest” design
As part of its new Nomos series of charging accessories, Baseus has launched two desktop charging hubs. While one is a USB-only model with up to 140W power output, the other, claimed to be “the world's slimmest charging station”, focuses on a travel-friendly design with additional AC outlets, at the cost of a lower 67W output and no retractable cable. Here’s the rundown on each of them:
Baseus Nomos 5-in-1 Retractable Desktop Charger Qi2 140W
Baseus claims that this is the world's first desktop charger with a retractable cable. The in-built 80 cm (2.6 ft) Type-C cable delivers up to 100W of power, and retracts smoothly into the device, keeping desktop clutter to a minimum. Apart from that, there’s also a USB-A socket and two Type-C ones, one of which can single-handedly deliver the full 140W.
The 15W Qi2 certified wireless charger folds up to a 60° angle and is magnetised to hold the device being charged. An LCD display conveniently lets you monitor the charging status and power allocation for each port.
At 12.24 x 9.25 x 3.56 cm (4.82 x 3.64 x 1.4 inches), and weighing 480 g (1.05 lb), the device is compact enough to travel with and, to that end, the AC power cord is also detachable.
Baseus Nomos 8-in-1 Slim Charging Station Qi2 67W
The “world’s slimmest charging station” (1.7 cm or 0.67 inches thick) may not match its sibling’s power output or manage to fit in that nifty retractable cable, but it makes up by including three AC outlets for additional chargers or small appliances. It houses one Type-A and three Type-C ports, as well as a folding and magnetic 15W Qi2 wireless charger.
The device weighs 680 g (1.5 lb). Like the Nomos 5-in-1 charger, it has an LCD display and a 5 ft detachable (but uncommon, likely proprietary) input power cable. The AC outlets can handle any appliance rated for under 1250W, or a total of 10 Amperes.
Pricing and Availability
Both devices are available on Amazon, the Nomos 5-in-1 Retractable Desktop Charger for $149 and the Nomos 8-in-1 Slim Charging Station for $89. As a limited-period launch offer valid until November 7, there's a 15% discount on both of them, which needs to be applied as a coupon on Amazon. Additionally, this retractable 3.3ft USB-C charging cable is bundled for free.
