CIO’s NovaPort SLIM DUO II 45W2C introduces a remarkably thin and rotatable wall charger, solving common portability issues for travellers and daily users alike, with a compact profile and practical performance.
CIO’s NovaPort SLIM DUO II 45W2C is aimed squarely at a familiar problem for anyone who charges devices away from home: many small chargers are still awkward to use in cramped sockets, especially when neighbouring outlets are blocked or the plug is pulled loose by cable weight. Gizmodo Japan said the charger solved those annoyances better than most by combining an unusually thin body with a rotating plug that can be angled to suit tight or low-mounted power points.
The hardware is built around a remarkably flat rectangular chassis, measuring 44.2mm by 78.8mm and just 12.5mm thick. That profile makes it one of the thinnest two-port USB-C chargers in the 45W class, according to the review, and it is designed to sit close to the wall rather than jutting out into surrounding space. Gizmodo Japan added that this also helps the charger stay seated more securely in older or worn sockets, reducing the risk of an interrupted charge.
Performance is practical rather than extravagant. The charger offers two USB-C ports, with up to 45W from a single port and up to 40W in total when both are in use, split as 20W plus 20W. That is enough for two phones at once, or for fast charging a lightweight laptop such as a MacBook Air when used alone. For readers who need more headroom, the same line also includes a 65W version, but Gizmodo Japan argued the 45W model is the better everyday choice for lighter carry.
Several other reviews reached similar conclusions. Mister Gadget described the NovaPort DUO II 45W2C as a compact, travel-friendly charger suitable for smartphones, tablets and lighter laptops, while Makuring and other hands-on testers highlighted the 180-degree rotating plug, the scratch-resistant textured finish and the charger’s suitability for daily carry. CIO also says registering the product on its website can extend the warranty to 2 years from the standard year, and the charger is sold in black or white.
