Hong Kong based lifestyle brand loves to combine tech with design, and since 2012, has launched a series of stylish, unique, innovative and functional audio equipment and accessories. The Builder Block (CP-4USBPD01-WHT) is a 65W 4-port Power Delivery (PD) Charger with a silicon sleeve which supports Lego bricks to customise with.
- USB-C Port 1: PD65W max.; 5V/3A; 9V/ 3A;12V/ 3A; 15V/ 3A; 20V/ 3.25A PPS 3.6V-16V/ 3A; 3.6W-21V/ 3.25A
- USB-C Port 2: PD18W max.; 5V/ 3A; 9V/ 2A; 12V/1.5A; 15V/ 1.2A
- USB Type A Port 1/2: 5V/2.4A max
- USB-A Ports 1+2 total output: 5V/3A max
With the above charging spec, you can see that the Builder Block PD charger will be capable of charging high-wattage devices like Apple laptops. The USB Type-A delivers standard charging current, while the USB-C ports will achieve faster charging speeds which most smartphones support.
The Builder Block supports 100-240V input power rating, and the detachable power cord ensures universal compatibility by getting the appropriate plug. It is also registered in Singapore with SAFETY Mark (Reg. No. 200035-17) to provide assurance to product quality.
The silicon sleeve with the brick pattern offers a fun twist to this otherwise functional tech. Due to the soft material, I find that the Lego bricks are not able to stay in place. Nevertheless, it achieves a visual cohesion when you place it along with your Lego collection, allowing you to integrate the charger into your own brick world.
Verdict
The Builder Block PD Charger from thecoopidea adds a fun visual value to an otherwise functional piece of tech. It’s available in Singapore at a recommended retail price S$129, with a launch price of S$99.90. Check out at Shopee, Challenger, Popular, iStudio. One year local warranty by distributor McBay.
