ant an easy way to connect more devices to
your 2018 iPad Pro? This uses its single USB-C
cable to plug into your iPad, and enables you
to connect regular USB-A devices (such as hard drives,
microphones and other accessories), monitors over HDMI,
SD cards for importing photos, power over a USB-C
passthrough, and even an Ethernet port. It provides 60W
of power, which will keep your iPad Pro charged no matter
what you’re doing. It also weighs just 118g, so it’s no real
extra weight to throw in a bag alongside your tablet. If
you’re planning to use your iPad Pro as a laptop
replacement, this is a great addition.

T


his is a small, portable printer, but still prints
up to A4-size pages. The print quality is actually
quite detailed and impressive, though it takes
small and expensive ink cartridges, so it isn’t cheap per
page at all. It’s also quite slow. However, between its
built-in rechargeable battery (which charges over USB),
the ability to print over USB or Wi-Fi (but not SD card or
USB thumb drive), plus the pleasingly small size, it can be
a really handy printer for occasional use.

e previously looked at the Chargeasap Uno,
which uses magnetic ends to make it so you
can charge anything Lightning, USB-C or
micro-USB from one cable. The new Infinity goes one
better by including USB-C Power Delivery, enabling it to
charge USB-C iPad Pro models as fast as possible. The
Infinity comprises a 1.2m braided cable with a fixed USB-C
socket at one end and a magnetic head at the other, to
which you can hook up the supplied Lightning, micro-USB
and USB-C adapters. Because they’re magnetic, you can
leave the adapters plugged into your devices and simply
attach the cable to each one as needed.
