Another great review Wes. I actually think we will have a lot of use for that - we test a lot of gear where I want to give info on the charge time and now I can just use this for anything that charges with USB - I am getting one :)
One thing I glossed over in the video is just how Smoothly this operates. All other multi usb c devices I've used in the past appear to share charge controllers, so every time you plug and unplug one thing, the rest of it goes haywire. With this device it all acts quite independently, and incredibly reliably.
Yeah, I have the plain 200, and the other two came out soon after this video, which is annoying haha. Basically the H gives you more power on one port, and the X gives you the Max power usb-c can currently do on one port.
thanks for the insight..definitely worth considering...Wes what's the main difference between this and the "newest" one the ISDT Power 200X?..thank you
I hooked up my macbook air m2 and it says it's connected but not charging. I also tried the original charge cable (that hooks up to the charger via usd-c) and it simply says "battery not charging". Any ideas?
Also, it can sometimes take an Apple silicon MacBook a Long time to handshake with a third party usb pd device (which is annoying). They start at 5V, then 9, then 12, then finally 20, and sometimes that takes five seconds, sometimes five minutes. It’s been the case with every charger I’ve tried aside from the Apple one.
Thanks for the info and plan to buy one to use with my NP2 and NP2 Air but Amazon has three models. A Power 200, 200H, and 200X but can’t tell what is different about them. Do you know? Help me out if you can. Thank you.
Basically just different max power outputs. Since releasing this video about the 200 (which also goes by 200W) which has a max output of 65W on any one port, they came out with: 200H that has one output that can go to 100W 200X which has one port that goes to 140W
@@WesPerrydecided to get the H version which I realize also comes with a 100W USB-C to USB-C cable and is only $10 more which is the typical price of any 100W cable. The X comes with a 140W cable.
Damn this is over the top. i was tempted to get this since it's only 20$ over the non fancy ones and has more power anyways and don't care about the weight as it's for my desk. but so much money hmmm

@@WesPerry Great to know - thanks again.
just realised there are 3 variant of it POWER 200, POWER 200H,POWER 200X... so yours are normal POWER 200 right?

@@WesPerry the other two are quite expensive. I think I just settle with plain 200. 65watt is quite more than enough for current devices.. thanks man.
Yeah, there really aren’t many use cases for more than 65W that I can think of, aside from fast charging a 16” MacBook While heavily using it.
Awesome!!

The X allows one output to go to 140W. There’s also an H variant that does 100W on a single output. Then the base model is max 65W on each output.

Have you paired it with a phone and installed any firmware updates yet?

Can it charge an apple watch or galaxy watch?
I don’t know how galaxy watches charge, but it can’t natively do an Apple Watch no.
If you hook up the apple watch charge cable, you are good to go
i have order IT. Thanks . Abo is yours

@@WesPerryThank you. Do you recommend either of the ones with higher power output ports, maybe for a laptop?
If you have something that needs that much power then sure.

@stevenwaldstein2249 oh nice. Prices are a bit worse for those in Canada lol

And since this one came out, they released two even more powerful ones 😂
@@WesPerry I wish someone tested the one port 140w tho as that's part of why I want it.
I would love to but I already have one 😂😭
@@WesPerry do you recommend the ISDT Power 200X over this ISDT Power 200?..
@@ldmndz4652 depends whether or not you have need of a 140W output. The standard has a max of 65W on all usb ports.
