벨킨의 따끈따끈 신상 충전기 (맥세이프 거치대 브랜드 분석 1편)

Summary

This video reviews a new Belkin MagSafe charging stand that has received Apple certification. It examines the design, weight, environmental friendliness, charging speeds, and compatibility with different chargers. The stand charges well overall, but has slightly more wobble than previous models. A key change is switching from an included wall charger to a user-provided USB-C cable to reduce e-waste. Speed tests find it charges at 15W with good chargers, but has intermittent issues maintaining max speeds. It seems to pair better with Samsung than Apple chargers. While well-built, the lack of an included optimal charger is disappointing.
