Not only does the Spruce cleverly compile all your charging needs into an organized little cube, it also uses GaN technology to efficiently and rapidly charge all your devices at the same time, without looking like a monstrosity.

If you’re reading this at your work-table, take a second to look underneath the desk and tell me what you see. A sea of wires leading to an ugly elongated box that plugs into a power outlet? Yeah, me too. There is no escaping that extension box (or power strip as it’s called in parts of the world) and the tangled cables, power-bricks, and massive adapters/plugs that connect into it, although there’s definitely a way to better manage how you charge your devices. Barely the size of a bar of soap, the Spruce condenses the extension box into an impressively small, organized little cube that does away with those massive plugs and power-bricks. Powered internally by gallium-nitride-based components, the Spruce lets you directly plug up to 4 gadgets into it using the USB-C and USB-A ports on the side, as well as wirelessly charge a phone on its flip-top which transforms into a charging dock. It effectively and efficiently manages power-delivery to all your devices, simultaneously, replacing the need to have multiple clunky chargers for each of your devices. The secret to the Spruce’s small size lies in its use of GaN microchips. Designed to be much more efficient at power-delivery and heat-dissipation than traditional SiC (silicon carbide) chips, GaN chargers can be exceedingly smaller, yet handle high power-output just as effectively without heating up too. That basically means doing away with that godforsaken extension box and the mess of wires located at your feet. Spruce neatly organizes all your charging needs right at your desk. Each USB-C port can deliver up to 100W of power, allowing you to even charge your laptop right off of it; and the true beauty of the GaN semiconductor is that it can seamlessly manage and allocate power too, which means even while you’re charging other devices, Spruce will always ensure that gadgets like your laptop always get higher power-delivery. The USB-A port has an impressive power-delivery of 30W too – enough to fast-charge any other devices you’ve got lying around, and that wireless charger on top is perhaps the most inspired design detail I’ve seen! The upper surface flips to an angle of 70°, allowing you to charge your phone while it’s vertically docked. The 10W wireless charger works with any smartphone, and even in landscape and portrait orientations. When flat, it charges your AirPods too! The Spruce runs on an AC power supply and plugs directly into your wall. It’s a definite upgrade over those archaic power-strips and surge-protectors, compressing everything into a small palm-sized box that elegantly (and rapidly) charges your devices via USB. Each Spruce comes along with its AC power-supply cable, a free USB-C cable, and a 1-year warranty on the device… Not to mention freedom from bulky boxes, thick wires, and large plugs.
