The Uno line is a group of GaN and Qi2 chargers, cables, an influence financial institution, and a USB-C hub — every geared up with a tiny display screen devoted solely to displaying robot-face emojis.

Probably the most eye-catching of those are, by far, the $60 Uno Charger 100W, four-port USB charger, and the $70 Qi2 15W magnetic energy financial institution that attaches to MagSafe telephones — every appears like a useful little bot pal you’ve got assigned to reside in your desk and assist you together with your charging.
