The Apple charger for the latest MacBook Pro is pretty basic and somewhat lacking when you consider you no longer have USB-A ports to work with. That’s where the PowerUp comes in. This charger addresses many of the MacBook Pro user’s concerns with the laptop’s lack of traditional USB ports and low battery life. PowerUp’s 60W AC power can simultaneously charge your USB-C MacBook and up to 3 USB devices. PowerUp isn’t just a MacBook charger replacement, it’s also a USB hub and charging station in one.
With its Type-A USB ports and elimination of the need to carry around various chargers, dongles, and other USB-C converters, the PowerUp is a “single all-encompassing replacement for the MacBook Pro charger.” It has a sleek and compact design, plus it’s available in both white and black matching the MacBook Pro.
Experts show that the October 2016 MacBook pro sales have surpassed those of previous models, which will contribute to a high generation in demand for the PowerUp. By changing the way we look at the functionality of the newest MacBook Pro, Homey is taking a lead in the home electronics industry. Users of the latest MacBook Pro are especially anticipating its release.
Homey founder Peikai Hou said, “I made this product with my own personal needs in mind while using Apple and Mac products. I trust that other users will have had the same frustrations and issues as I did and have the same need for PowerUp as I do.”
Before you purchase your PowerUp, we recommend that you use it at your own risk. While everything about it looks safe from what we can see, it’s still not officially licensed by Apple and we can’t be 100% positive it won’t damage your machine.
There are a few reward tiers that will be offered on the PowerUp’s Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, with one of them getting you a new PowerUp at a fraction of the price. You can get your hands on one for only $69, the exact same price as a standard MacBook charger. For more information on release of this ultimate MacBook Pro companion drop by Homeylab’s site.

Homey addresses rising concerns about devices requiring USB-C chargers, such as the new MacBook, with the launch of their April 2017 Indiegogo campaign for PowerUp
The release of the vastly updated MacBook Pro in October 2016 created a new market for all-in-one power adapters.

Following the emergence of USB-C charging ports, the PowerUp addresses many MacBook Pro users’ concerns surrounding the new laptop’s lack of traditional USB ports and low battery life.
The PowerUp solves the MacBook Pro’s cross platform capability issues by integrating the USB Type-C power adapter with a Type-A USB hub.
