IMHO, MacBooks should not be covered with sleeve while using. You want the MacBook to be well-ventilated and dissipate heat thru the metal unibody.

NOTE: As a relatively new user, I am not allowed to post URLs

I recently bought a 13" MacBook pro, and go the following Baseus USB-C hub:
SEARCH ON LAZADA: Baseus Mirror Type-C HUB Adapter Convertor (Type-C to 3 x USB3.0 + HDMI + PD + RJ45)

It's been working wonderfully and I have been happy with it. Delivery was relatively quick as the seller (GMX) is based in Singapore.

I have also been toying with the idea of buying the following magnetic charging cable:
SEARCH ON LAZADA: Baseus 86W Magnetic USB Type C Cable For Macbook Elbow Charge Cable for Samsung Galaxy S8 S9 PD 3.0 Quick Charge USB C Cable

What I really need though is a (second) USB-C wall charger for the MacBook Pro. The one that looks best to me in my search so far is the "Mazer EnerG Travel 360 65W PD3.0+QC3.0+USB-AX2 Fast Charger".

Unfortunately, I can't tell difference between that product and the "Mazer EnerG.BOOST 65W TRAVEL USB-C PD+QC3.0 Wall Charger"

If any of you have an answer, or if you can recommend another wall charger, do share. Thanks!

One comes with 1 USB-A port the other comes with 2x USB-A ports. That’s about it.

But I’ll still recommend Anker or Xiaomi 65W USB-C PD charger.

I won’t say the maz energ travel is attractive at that price point ($99) unless you really need the travel adapters.

U can easily get ugreen 65w UK charger for less than half the price of maz energy.

Yes Anker has a lot of new charger that adopts the GaN technology but most are using US 2 pin plug.

The highest wattage available in a UK plug is just 30W for now.


One comes with 1 USB-A port the other comes with 2x USB-A ports. That’s about it.

But I’ll still recommend Anker or Xiaomi 65W USB-C PD charger.

Sadly I do. And in particular, I need a plug for Australia. I could, of course, just use a standard travel adapter, but it would be nice to have a 'streamlined' charger if I could.

Thanks for pointing me to Xiaomi's and Anker's chargers. A search on Lazada and Shopee for both turned up only units with US-plugs. If I had to have a unit with just one plug, then I would prefer Australian first, and UK/Singapore second - I should have mentioned it earlier. So, I'm afraid I will have to give this one a pass.

I got this before my Macbook Pro 2018 delivery. I find it cumbersome each time I want to attach my ipad,iphone and external hdd.will sell it off, prefer to use usb c cables instead.

I can see how it could be cumbersome.

I also bought four USB-A to USB-C converters (search "Baseus USB Type C OTG Adapter Male to USB Female Type-c OTG Converter" on Lazada/Shopee) to use with existing USB-A devices when I need to connect only one device. They work with my existing portable external HDDs and with the iPhone/iPad, although I am not technically-savvy enough to be able to comment on the speed of data transfers from/to portable HDDs.
