Lenovo Charger with 4 Built-in USB Ports is Genius
A shortage of USB ports is a problem tons of people are familiar with. It's easily solved with any one of the countless USB hubs available. But what's a USB hub if it's not also a laptop charger? A one-trick pony, that's what.
After speaking to customers about what they buy and use the most in conjunction with their laptops, Lenovo learned that a large amount of people buy a spare adapter as well as a USB hub. Last week, the company revealed the Lenovo Power Hub, a device they describe as "one part power adapter and one part USB hub."
The Lenovo Power Hub combines those two devices, resulting in a single $75 purchase. Though it takes up a USB port, it more than makes up by giving users access to four ports located on the end of the power brick.
It's on sale now from Lenovo. Who wants one? More importantly, who wants the rest of the big name companies to follow suit?

half power
half usb
expensive power usb exists! super cereal
Two thumbs up to Lenovo for actually listening to customers' feedback and implementing it in a simple yet ingenious way. Other universal adapters have done this but the fact that it's built into the standard adapter that comes with the computer is great. Now you don't have to lose your original adapter and wait to replace it to gain this extra functionality.
It's so simple yet no one thought of it until now. I love when a company comes up with a feature that we didn't even realize we needed. Any laptop without this built in will soon be behind.
One or two less cords to trip on and keep neat for the win!
In 2 years and it'll be considered revolutionary.
talk about standardizing power connectors. usb ports are smart, there could be some type of data transmit to ensure the 'correct' (or a correct enough) brick was charging the battery. get on it, guys.
And KUDOs to Lenovo! I'll buy one if they have one for my Tosh.
This. Lmao.
They had to have the two cord mess and use up a perfectly good usb slot.
Anyhow, apple will show you how this is done properly shortly.
