Hello All,

Officeworks are clearing out this USB Type-C Charger, which can charge devices including Laptops, phones, and your favourite backup battery packs with up to 60 Watts of juice with the included USB-C to USB-C cable (1.2 metres).

This seems like a great deal for a backup charger, or even if you're just after a USB-C to USB-C cable.

The Charger has both a USB-C port and a USB-A port for convenient charging of all of your favourite USB devices. I'll be using this as a backup charger at the office.

From Comsol's Website:

    Is this going to work with Macbooks smaller than 15”?

      Hi pizzaguy,

      Yes, it will work with Macbooks. I've updated the detailed info from their website. It is compatible with the 15 inch as well, but will charge the computer at a slower rate.

  • HighAndDry on 26/09/2018 - 20:22

    Sorry, ignore. Has stock when ordering online even for C&C.

      There wasn't any stock available at my local store, but I selected 'extended delivery' for pickup at Dee Why, so I guess they'll move the stock around.

      Hope that helps.

        Hahah sorry, yeah that was just for buying in store I think. Online orders still have stock. Thanks anyway!

    Never heard of Comsol. Is the brand reliable? Looks like a great price.

    • Millikano on 26/09/2018 - 21:22

      From my experience, It’s a cheaper but okay known brand for accessories. Considering a USB-C cable alone can cost more, I figured it was a great value buy. It comes with a 12 month warranty and Officeworks are pretty good with their warranty policy, so I thought it was a low risk purchase- should be good!

    • McFly on 27/09/2018 - 00:53

      About the same quality as Chinese junk you can get on eBay, but Officeworks charges 50x more.

  • karimk74 on 26/09/2018 - 21:25

    All stores nationwide are showing as 1 being instock besides Orange in NSW and Joondalup in WA which have 4. I suspect OW have made an error in their stock levels and there are infact none to very little available.

    So if you're going to take the chance by ordering be prepared for waiting several weeks for a refund.

  • EnALup on 26/09/2018 - 21:33

    anyone knows, if it will charge Lenovo Yoya 920 with Usb C charger?

    • Starme on 26/09/2018 - 21:38
      +2

      It should mate,

      Lenovo Yoga 920 uses 45w to charge, so 60w should do the trick

        Great. Wanted to confirm if it wont blow it. Just hope I wont plug my phone to it.

        • ozhunter68 on 26/09/2018 - 21:51

          Why not plug your phone into this charger?

          • EnALup on 26/09/2018 - 21:53

            @ozhunter68: Isn't it too much for the phone? Haven't done it.

              +5

              @EnALup: Your phone won't draw more power than it can take, even if it's available (unless the charger is very poorly designed)

            • ozhunter68 on 26/09/2018 - 22:06
              +3

              @EnALup: Not at all. The phone will only take what it needs up to the maximum which depends on both the charger and cable used, as well as how much your particular phone can charge at max power.

              Keep in mind that this has two outputs, usb C with a max of 60w output AND a regular usb A max output 2A @ 5v / 10w which you can connect many various cables in to suit your device type.

                @ozhunter68: Can confirm that this is true based on my experience - i regularly use my usb c Apple 60w charger to charge my Nokia phone with no issues. Also, that Apple charger charges Dell's XPS series laptops that have USB-C ports. I bought one of this simply because this is a really good deal - i can travel with this and not worry about losing my apple charger.

    Apparently the orders are on "backorder"

    • ozhunter68 on 26/09/2018 - 22:08

      With delivery dates of 12-16th of October you would assume so, heck the bulk order might still be on the way here from China lol.

      • Borg on 26/09/2018 - 23:34

        Nothing wrong with a back order…….Comsol might be clearing the decks. Haapy to wait

        • ozhunter68 on 27/09/2018 - 08:06

          True, not for a bargain anyway.

          I ordered one too, but as I live 40 klm -55 klm away in between two stores, I went for the store I will be near next Wednesday thinking it will be there.

          Then after placing order see it will arrive there in three weeks, if I knew that I would have got it sent for CC to other store.

          Delivery to my door was quoted as $25.80, so that was not an option.

    • sav11 on 27/09/2018 - 13:03

      Hi rep, happy to wait for the stock. Delivery info on the site says "Standard Free Next Business Day Delivery is available for orders to selected areas of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Darwin and Hobart. Orders under $55 incur a $5.95 delivery fee"

      But when I try to place an order with delivery to Darwin CBD 0800 it says "country delivery" with a fee of $25.95

      Is that right?

      • Associatedobit11 @ Officeworks on 27/09/2018 - 13:16

        I'd suggest calling the 1300 OFFICE number and try placing the order over the phone. I imagine they'd be able to rectify or at least explain the pricing.

  • [Deactivated] on 26/09/2018 - 22:14

    • Mostly Melbourne on 27/09/2018 - 00:51

      Yes by spec it will do Power Delivery (PD) Fast Charging at max 18W, but you gotta buy one of the Apple original Type C to Lightning cables
      Apple has started licensing 3rd party manufacturers to make these cables earlier this year but no product has come out yet, surely there will be cheaper alternatives by 2019

    • McFly on 27/09/2018 - 00:52
      +4

      Probably, although you never can tell what standards Apple choose to support.
      Of course you'll need a cable which - of course - costs more than this charger!

      • Slave1 on 27/09/2018 - 07:05

        Ah yes, I forgot about the need to factor in their cable too!

        I'ld only use it going somewhere around Aus, easy enough to go into a store in Aus to find a good replacement, as we know the names of stores which are good value.

        Overseas I tended to trust taking individual official chargers and use an adapter, also charging from power banks majority of the time. I have had to use some really janky wall plugs in Florence that I thought for sure it was going to surge my gear, so just charged up my power bank from the wall, then my phone from the bank.

    • sav11 on 27/09/2018 - 13:14

      Wouldn't this be really slow to charge the XPS 15?

      • ozb88 on 27/09/2018 - 13:59

        It would be slow if you're charging from 0, but if it's going to be plugged in while you're using it for a while it's good enough depending on how heavy your workload is

  • ozb88 on 27/09/2018 - 13:59

    Been waiting for one of these for my XPS 15, thanks!

    • rx2 on 30/09/2018 - 16:27

      Can you charge the XPS 15 with just 60W - what is the minimum W? The one shipped is 130W.

      • lplau on 01/10/2018 - 13:50

        It works. Just charges a lot slower.
        The one that ships with XPS 15 uses a proprietary handshake, therefore if you wanted to ensure you got full charging you will need to buy Dell branded one.

        Even if you got a 87W Apple USB-C charger, the PD negotiation would only allow it to charge at 60W.

            @eug: Hahahah oh I'd (hopefully…….) be smart enough to call up the store beforehand and check. And then if they're still out of stock when I got there I'd just burn it all down be justifiably upset.

    • pizzaguy on 02/10/2018 - 12:20

      Officeworks Ltd has just sent you a partial refund of $18.00 AUD for your purchase.

      Yup.

      If you have any questions about this refund, please contact Officeworks Ltd.

      My question is: how is this possible (because sloppiness?) and how to make it a pain to Officeworks, so perhaps one day they don't oversell?

      • HighAndDry on 02/10/2018 - 14:37
        +2

        Sloppiness, someone forgot to update inventory system, inventory system crashed, someone stole a pallet off the back of a truck, etc.

        There's no real way to make it a pain to OW - they already have CS staff on set hours and wages, so all you'll end up doing is make trouble for them. Honestly, move on and wait for the next deal.

        This would've been a nice pick up though - could've charged everything from my laptop to my phone to my switch.

  • Boulders on 02/10/2018 - 12:28

    We apologise for the inconvenience.

    Which account has been refunded?

    We've refunded $18.00 to the Visa card you used to make your original purchase.

    It seems this was a blatant bait and switch to get people to create Officeworks accounts and signup for their newsletter.

    Not one person has said they got their orders. This was live on their website for a very long time so the excuse of suddenly nil stock seems way too convenient.

    • Borg on 08/10/2018 - 21:48

      Already had an account like many but perhaps you are right. I will note in the past they have fulfilled orders that were back orders so will give them the benefit of the doubt this time myself.
