All sorts of things are on sale when Amazon Prime Day lasts two full days. Here are some things we like, some of our favorites and even some shit. But an intriguing piece of technology currently on a Lightning deal is the 6.6-foot Chipofy 100W USB-C charging cable, with a built-in display for power measurement. This ingenious little tool is on sale for just $ 15.32, a savings of $ 10.67 (41%) from its usual price of $ 25.99. It emits enough power to power and charge even some full-size laptops, but the best part is that you’ll know exactly how many watts actually reach your device. Read our handy impressions here.
Chipofy USB-C cable with power display
This 6.6-foot USB-C to USB-C cable has a display that shows the power being sent to your devices. It can charge up to 100 W, which is enough for many devices to recharge quickly.
What else is better to excite us, the nerds of technology, like a fast USB-C cable that can help you identify which component of our messy world USB-C is responsible for your slow charging times? Have you ever wondered why your laptop, Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck run out while you have it plugged in? This cable can tell you how much power any of your power adapters with detachable cables are producing and whether a manufacturer promises you more power than they actually offer to your electronics. (Note: If you want to check the output of these first-party power adapters for Switch and Steam Deck, those with fixed cables, there are other power meters available that are also on sale.)
Personally, I just bought a nice, 100 W long USB-C cable, and I think I’m tempted to add a Chipofy one to my rat nest tangled in a cable drawer. Because now I have to try everything I have.
