I think a backer of the project just reached you out since Betatek has not provided us with any updates about the progress of the project. Back in December, they said the project got delayed because of a flaw they found in the design, so they needed more time (about 4 months) to fix that and start shipping the product. Unfortunately, we haven't heard from them since them. Hopefully, they will listen to you and give you some good news :)

I bought a universal charger way back in 2001.. I think Kensington made it, shipped with about 10 different tips for common laptop connections. Really was one of the best things I ever bought. Glad to see something similar on the market today, even if you have to order the cables for specific laptops. I'm sure the higher wattage of today's laptops is why it's a little less efficient, but, a compromise I can accept.

Wow that must have passed me by, having to buy expensive OEM chargers (looking at you Alienware and Razer!) has been the bane of my life! I like to have multiple chargers so I can have one in the office and one in the laptop bag so I am never caught out if I have to visit a client etc. And yes it is a shame you have to buy the extra tips but at least they are going to sell them for a sensible price so I can add them as I need them for the fraction of the cost of another charger. I also can't get over how small it is compared to other gaming laptop BRICKS :)

I am not saying you were involved, but maybe you should start checking the history of the companies or the projects you review and write a note like " yo guys this seems like a great project but the company does not have any history or reviews or recommendations stay vigilant". Just saying. Besides that your note came pretty late after the collection of the money has been long done by Kickstarter. Nobody from us the backers had a chance to file a refund or withdraw the backing through our credit card institution.

I'm looking for high quality laptops that can be charged via USB-C so I wouldn't need to carry the bulky power adapter. Are the any premium ones that allow faster than 100w charging?
