Things to consider
It is more versatile than a basic powerboard thanks to USB-C PD charging, but it is not as specialised as premium boards with wider outlet spacing, extra USB ports or higher overall surge protection.
Home office suitability
9/10 - slim shape, four outlets and 45W USB-C charging make it well suited to compact desk and work-from-home setups
Surge protection score
7/10 - includes high surge protection for everyday electronics, though it is not positioned as a heavy-duty specialist protection unit
Portability rating
8/10 - slim and easy to place or move between rooms, but still primarily intended as a fixed-use powerboard
Multi-device compatibility
Works with standard household mains plugs plus USB-C devices including compatible phones, tablets and many USB-C laptops
Durability vs category average
About average to slightly above average for everyday indoor use, with added value from integrated protection features
Key benefits
- 4 outlets: Powers up to four mains-powered devices from one board for neater everyday setups.
- Slimline design: Fits more easily behind furniture, under desks and along crowded benchtops where bulkier boards can be awkward.
- 45w usb-c power delivery: Charges compatible phones, tablets and many USB-C laptops faster than standard low-power USB outlets.
- Simultaneous outlet use: All four outlets can be used at once within the rated load limit, helping support multi-device work or entertainment setups.
- Overload protection: Adds a layer of protection by helping reduce risk when connected load exceeds the board’s limit.
- Surge protection: Helps protect connected electronics from sudden power spikes during everyday use.
- Black finish: Blends in well with most modern desks, TV units and office equipment.
- Combined power and charging: Reduces the need for a separate USB-C wall charger by adding charging directly to the powerboard.
Q: Can the USB-C port charge a laptop on its own
A: Yes, it can charge many USB-C laptops directly from the powerboard, along with phones and tablets. It is not the right fit for higher-power laptops, so demanding models may still need their original charger.
Q: Will bulky plug packs block neighbouring outlets on this board
A: Yes, oversized plug packs can cover the socket beside them because the outlets sit close together in a slim body. Standard plugs are less of an issue, but large adapters may reduce how many mains devices you can connect at once.
Q: Can you use every outlet and the charging ports together
A: Yes, the mains outlets and built-in charging can be used together if the total load stays within the board's rating. High-draw appliances can use that limit quickly, so it suits electronics and chargers better than heavy heating loads.
Q: Does the USB-C charging replace a separate wall charger
A: Often, yes. The built-in USB-C port can charge a compatible phone, tablet or many USB-C laptops without a separate adapter, but it only charges one USB-C device at a time and needs USB-C Power Delivery support for best results.
Q: Is the slimline shape useful behind furniture or under desks
A: Yes, the low-profile design is made for tighter spots such as behind a TV unit, desk or cabinet. Keep the lead and switch accessible, and avoid pinching the cable hard against furniture or bending it sharply.
Q: Is this powerboard suitable for heaters or other high-draw appliances
A: No, it is better matched to electronics, chargers, office gear and entertainment devices than portable heaters or similar loads. High-draw appliances can push a powerboard towards its limit much faster than typical AV or computer gear.
