So fuck paying for the official deck, but … unfuck? paying for a 3rd party one? I don’t get it
The official one is more expensive
It comes with a 65W USB-C power brick, the same that comes with the Deck.
The 3rd party ones don’t.
Hold up, I did not receive a charger with mine
The official one definitely should come with one, it says so on the product page - and mine did
Nevermind, found it.. Thanks for reminding me :)
The third party one I got is 25 bucks
The official one is 80
No power brick is worth $55
The GaN ones are if you care about size and power. Their dock is basically a high quality laptop dock, and priced equivalently, plus it's custom shaped to hold the deck.
For a deck that's just sitting there plugged in all the time yeah not a big deal / worth it.
