Introducing DART, The Worlds Smallest Laptop Adapter

Startup Company Finsix has unveiled what at the moment is the World”s Smallest Laptop Adapter. The company, which has developed innovative power technology to shrink laptop chargers, launched a Kickstarter today for its first gadget, Dart.
The Device which is the same as when unveiled in January: its is a 65 Watt charger, estimated to be around the one-third of the size of a normal laptop charger and it dons two USB charging ports. With USB charging ports DART is looking to be a Laptop and Smartphone charger in all.

COLOURS
The Dart would come in different varieties of colours – Blue, Silver, Orange, Magenta, Gunmetal

COMPATIBILITY
Dart is compatible with all major brands of PC, but not compatible with MacBook. Users of Macbook can get a custom Dart or a special Dart for Macbook, furthermore, Dart won’t work with Laptops that require Wattage higher than 65W.

PRICE AND AVAILABILITY
The Dart is expected to start shipping fully in October; for early bird backers, you can grab a Dart for $79 (£47 or N13,000), while the regular Kickstarter price is $89 (£53 or N15,000), and the final retail price is expected to be $99 (£59 or N16,000). MacBook owners have to shell out a little bit more cash – $148 (£88.55 or N24,000).

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Dart charge my laptop as fast as my old larger adapter?

Absolutely. The Dart delivers 65W of power. That means ample current to charge your laptop as fast as your existing adapter.

Can the Dart charge my USB device (tablet, smartphone, camera, etc.) at the same time that my laptop is being charged?

Yes, The Dart charges your laptop and USB device simultaneously. FINsix’s USB charger is 2.1A (10.5 watts) so it has sufficient power to charge your USB devices at full speed.

How Does the Dart plug into my laptop?

Many different types and sizes of power connectors are used across the various laptop manufacturers and models. FINsix will provide the correct DC connector(s) with each adapter to ensure compatibility.

How do I know if the Dart is compatible with my laptop?

The Dart is compatible with all major laptop brands and most laptops 65W and below. Check for your laptop make/model on our Compatibility Guide. If you do not see your laptop listed here, you will likely see it listed on the Laptop Non-Compatibility Guide. If you do not see your laptop listed on either Guide, please contact us at info@finsix.com. Alternatively, you can check the rating label on your laptop or laptop power adapter. You are looking for a laptop input voltage of 18-21 V and a power level of ≤65 (watts). If the power is not provided, multiply the voltage (V) by the current (Amps) and make sure the result is ≤65 (watts). Note: use the laptop’s INPUT voltage/current and the adapter’s OUTPUT voltage/current.

Which laptop brands are compatible with the Dart?

The standard Dart is compatible with all major PC laptop manufacturers including: Acer, Asus, Compaq, Dell, Gateway, HP, IBM/Lenovo, MSI, Panasonic, Samsung, Sony, and Toshiba. Please see the Dart Compatibility Guide for specific models. Limited number of MacBook compatible units also offered on Kickstarter.

 Is the Dart compatible with MacBook laptops?

FINsix is making a limited number of Darts available for the MacBook on Kickstarter. To offer these units we have to buy an off-the-shelf Apple adapter to get the connector. This approach is expensive, so the Dart for MacBook costs $89 more than a standard Dart.
