At CES 2020 AUKEY revealed their upcoming line of Omnia USB-C PD wall chargers. Which all features gallium nitride (GaN) technology. Reducing the size and weight of the charger, without compromising on heat. The multi-port AUKEY PA-B3 Omnia Mix 65W Dual-Port PD and AUKEY PA-B4 Omnia Duo 65W Dual-Port PD are already available. Now we can take a first look at the AUKEY Omnia 61W and 100W USB-C PD. Two of the single USB-C port chargers from the series.

This is a product analysis, not a review. I do not have these products in hand (yet) to do a full review. The information presented here is based on specs and details offered by AUKEY.

AUKEY PA-B2 Omnia 61W – Replace your MacBook Pro 13-inch’s power adapter for one half its size and cost

The AUKEY PA-B2 Omnia 61W is aimed at MacBook Pro 13-inch owners. As well as other 13 to 14-inch laptops with 60-65W power adapters. It is 65% smaller than Apple’s included power adapter. AUKEY’s MSRP of $35.99 is half what Apple charges for their 61W USB-C charger ($69.00 MSRP). Neither charger includes a USB-C to USB-C cable.

Tech Specs

• Model: PA-B2
• Ports: USB-C
• USB-C Output: 61W USB-C PD (5V/3A, 9V/3A, 12V/3A, 15V/3A, 20V/3A, 20.3V/3A)
• Size: 1.8 x 1.8 x 1.2 inches | 45 x 45 x 30 mm

Features

• GaN tech for reduced size and weight
• Available in black or white

Price

• $35.99 MSRP
• 20% pre-order discount available
• No USB-C cable included

What Is It Good For?

Its standard USB-C PD power profiles work with iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, iPad Pro, and Nintendo Switch. But its main use is for 12 to 14-inch laptops which include a 45-65W USB-C power adapter. The reduced size and cost make it a great second charger option. Leave your laptop’s larger, included charger at home or work. Use AUKEY’s for a second charge location. Or as a dedicated travel charger for all your small to mid-sized USB-C devices.

How It Compares To Other Solutions

Availability

The AUKEY PA-B2 Omnia 61W is currently available for pre-order. Only the white model is available, and you need to pre-order from AUKEY directly. The expected release date is April 30, 2020. A representative from AUKEY told me as of April 2 they are still expecting to make that release date, despite COVID-19 slowdowns. They are hoping these new chargers prove useful to those working from home and wanting to power their laptop in different rooms.
