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. 

my favorite crowdfunded projects

The Synek beer tap

I love crowdfunding projects. There's something about finding a cool project and seeing it come to fruition. Over the last year or so, I've funded about 15 projects between Kickstarter and Indigogo.

Here are some of ones that I'm the most excited about:

• A roast,grind, brew, coffee maker 
• Synek- Beertap on the counter 
• Gustin Jeans
