Oh, how nice it would be if
we could consolidate the various charging adapters that are needed to keep most
of our numerous techie gadgets alive? This would be especially handy when
traveling, wouldn’t it? Well, Twelve South Marketing offers just such a device
for MAC users.
The PlugBug Duo is an add-on adapter that fits most Apple MacBook
laptop computers.
(TIP:
Compatibility ~ All Apple USB-C Power
Adapter, including 30W USB-C, 61W
USB-C, 87W USB-C. All Apple MagSafe 2 Power Adapters including 45W MagSafe 2

for MacBook & 13˝ MacBook Pro, Apple 85W MagSafe Power Adapter for 15˝
& 17˝ MacBook Pro, Apple 12W USB Power Adapter. Not compatible with Apple
Smart Keyboard Folio.)
The PlugBug
Duo is designed to snap into the power port of the Apple power adapter
where you would normally plug in the power cable, or AC wall plug.
Once attached, it provides connection
with your power cord, or any of the five-supplied different snap-on plugs that
convert your MacBook Power Adapter into an international power supply.
The
included international plug adapters for 150+ countries
USA • UK/Hong Kong/Singapore •
Continental Europe Australia/New Zealand • China
At this point you’re ready to travel
knowing that you are ready to connect to power and/or charge your computer and
devices in over 150 countries. Not only is this the perfect companion for
travel, but having the two USB charging ports eliminates that need for such
chargers in your home environment, as well. Remember, these two USB ports
provide 2.1 amps for fast charging of smartphones, iPads and many other USB
charged devices.

smartphone and MacBook Charging
I found the PlugBug Duo to work well and satisfy my charging needs both at home
and on-the-go. My only wish is that
it came with a travel pouch, or at least made it available as an option.
