Teknikveckan has tested the Satechi ChargeView 140W, a four-port USB-C GaN desktop charger with a display that shows charging power in real time. The review describes it as a charger you want to keep in view rather than hide behind the monitor.
According to Teknikveckan, it brings a desk's charging into one place. It also makes it easier to see what is actually happening as devices draw power.
A display that shows what each port delivers
The reviewer names the display as the main feature. It shows the live output of each USB-C port, so you can see whether a MacBook is fast charging, whether a phone is drawing only a little power, and how power is split when several devices are connected. When a port starts being used, the screen lights up briefly with that port's figure.
A button on top cycles through display modes. It also rotates the interface depending on whether the charger stands upright or lies flat. Teknikveckan admits this is a nerdy feature, but calls it a useful one.
Made to stand on the desk
Teknikveckan says the black design sits well next to a MacBook, monitor or dock. The included stand holds the charger upright or horizontally. Lying flat, it leaves a gap underneath for routing and hiding cables that need to stay on the desk. The reviewer notes it also works without the stand and looks more discreet that way.
Four USB-C ports, 140 W in total
According to the review, four USB-C ports cover a full desk: laptop, tablet, phone, watch, earbuds, keyboard and mouse. There is no USB-A, and Teknikveckan does not count that as a drawback on this type of product.
The reviewer stresses that 140 W is the combined output. A single laptop in port 1 or 2 gets plenty of power. With more devices connected, the charger splits the power between them automatically. Anyone planning to fast-charge several laptops at the same time may be disappointed.
GaN, stable under load
GaN technology gives high output in a compact format. Teknikveckan reports that the charger did not get worryingly warm with several devices connected. The reviewer considers that reassuring for a product meant to be used daily. It also has built-in protection against overheating, overcurrent and overvoltage.
What's missing
The reviewer would have liked one or two ports on the back. The display stays lit for one minute after a device is connected or the button is pressed, and Teknikveckan would prefer a longer always-on mode.
Price is the review's main question. At SEK 1,399, the reviewer says it is a lot to pay for a charger. For someone happy with a wall charger and a couple of cables, it is more than they need.
Final verdict
Teknikveckan concludes that the price makes more sense for a desk full of devices. The buyer pays for the display, the design and the cable management, not only the wattage.
"It is luxury, absolutely. But it is very pleasant luxury."
