Finsix Dart- a product review

I recently picked up a Finsix Dart from Massdrop because I've got 3 laptops and travel a bit for work and pleasure. I remember seeing the IndieGoGo campaign but I missed out on it.  Seeing it was at a decent price at Massdrop, I picked it up.  Bottomline there are some pluses and minuses but check their website to see your if your laptop is compatible.

Pros

  • One of the things Finsix says is the charger as small. It really is small. It's the size of a USB cigarette light power adapter.
  • It has a USB port on it. I'm really surprised more laptop power bricks don't have one. It makes it easy to charge a phone or battery pack. It is a 2v USB port so it'll charge at the same speed as an iPhone or iPad charger. 
  • It's really easy to use, after all it's a laptop power brick so it better be easy to use. 
Con

  • It's not able to power one of my laptops that has a power draw of > 65w. This was my primary reason for the purchase. 

Con(but not for me)

  • Doesn't work with Apple products.
