Apple Silicon Macs offer truly excellent battery life compared to their Intel predecessors, but there are still times when you need to plug in to power. <\/p>\n

If I know in advance I\u2019m going to need mains power, then the Chargeasap Zeus is the power brick I normally carry with me. When I expect to be able to work solely on battery but have the MacBook equivalent of range anxiety, I\u2019ve found the Rolling Square Super Tiny to be the perfect solution \u2026<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My M1 Max 16-inch MacBook Pro is heading toward its fifth birthday, and the battery capacity is currently shown as 81%. In general use I\u2019ll typically still get about 10 hours out of it, but for intensive tasks like 4K video editing that can drop to as little as 5-6 hours.<\/p>\n

As someone who works from a home office, it\u2019s good to get a change of scenery once in a while. So for things like video editing in my spare time, I\u2019ll often head out to a shared workspace or coffee shop. My favourite borrowed office is one of the British Library reading rooms, which are almost the quietest place you will ever find in London!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m reasonably confident when doing this that I\u2019ll be able to work just fine at my desired screen brightness without running out of battery power. However, I really hate to stop work when I\u2019m in the zone, and there is just that little background niggle that perhaps my enthusiasm will last longer than my MacBook Pro\u2019s battery.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t want to have to carry a heavy charging brick just in case, but the Rolling Square Supertiny is so small and light that I can just routinely carry it in my laptop, backpack and have the reassurance of knowing it\u2019s there if needed.<\/p>\n

The diminutive GaN power brick delivers 65W of power but measures only 1.7\u00d71.37\u00d71.3-inches (US version) and weighs just 2.5 ounces. (The British plug means that the UK version is a little larger and heavier but still goes completely unnoticed in a side pocket of my backpack.) That plus a USB-C cable…<\/p>\n
