Crate · desk power station

Crate sits under a monitor and replaces the pile of chargers behind it. Six ports: four USB-C, two USB-A, 140 W from the top-left port and 210 W across the whole thing, with a display that tells you what each port is actually delivering rather than what it could deliver in a laboratory. It runs from mains and holds a battery, so a power cut gives you a few hours of laptop rather than a saved-file panic. The fan is temperature-controlled and does not spin below 90 W, which for most desks means never. The case is aluminium, the feet are silicone, and the whole thing weighs enough to stay where you put it when you pull a cable out.
