In my house there aren’t many outlets. Until now, when more than one device was connected, most sockets were occupied and there was no room to charge my phone. This also meant I couldn’t power other devices, like the speaker or the tablet, all of them with different slots. I finally remedied this situation with the PcCom Essential 65W charger from PcComponentes, featuring USB-A and USB-C ports.
Since I got the PcComponentes charger at home, I can connect up to 3 devices to a single outlet. And it supports fast charging, so in just a few minutes I can have my phone, tablet, and speaker at 100% battery. Here are all the details.

A few months ago I decided to get the PcCom Essential 65W charger because I was tired of carrying several adapters whenever I left the house or traveled. Between the laptop, the phone, and a few other devices, I always ended up with a backpack full of cables and plugs, which was neither practical nor comfortable. Also, in my home there are few outlets, so I needed it to charge more than one device at once.
When I saw that this model featured two USB-C ports and one USB-A, and offered up to 65W of power, it looked like a very interesting option to simplify everything. One of the aspects that convinced me from the start is that it allows charging several devices at the same time without losing speed, something you notice especially when you’re in a rush or need everything at 100% quickly.
On the other hand, the PcCom Essential charger stands out for its compact design, perfect for taking it anywhere without taking up much space. Additionally, it incorporates fast-charging technology and a fixed European plug, making it very practical for home, office, or travel. In terms of design, the white finish gives it an elegant and discreet touch that fits into any setting.
Highlights
- Compact and efficient design: a small footprint with a fixed European plug makes it easy to carry anywhere.
- Smart energy management: automatically adjusts and distributes power when several devices are connected, preventing overloads and ensuring stable operation.
- Versatile USB-A extra port: includes a USB-A 3.0 output suitable for charging from phones to small accessories like headphones.
- Dual USB-C ports with Power Delivery: the two USB-C connections incorporate PD technology, adapting charging to the device to boost speed and performance.
- Up to 65W for fast charging: provides enough capacity to charge from smartphones to laptops, covering most daily needs with a single charger.
What is my experience with the PcComponentes charger?
Pros and Cons
I had long been looking for a way to simplify the whole charger situation at home, because with so few outlets I kept having to decide which device to charge first. Since trying the 65W PcCom Essential charger, that problem has almost disappeared, since I can connect several devices at once without having to swap cables constantly.
What convinced me most is the daily convenience: now I can charge any device without taking up more space than necessary. It’s also incredibly practical when I’m out and about, because with a single charger I have enough to cover everything I need without hassle.
Pros
- Powerful and versatile charging: since I started using it, I’ve been able to charge the laptop and the phone with a single charger without noticing slower performance, which is very welcome when you’re short on time.
- Multiple ports on one device: it’s very convenient to connect several devices at once, especially when you’re away from home and there aren’t many outlets available.
- Compact and easy to transport design: it hardly takes up space in the backpack and, with the integrated plug, you don’t have to worry about extra cables or adapters.
Cons
- The power is shared when using multiple ports: when I connect several devices at once, I’ve noticed the charging isn’t as fast as when using just one, though I solve it by prioritizing the laptop when needed or charging the rest afterward.
- Only has one USB-A port: I sometimes miss another USB-A for older accessories, but I’ve resolved by using USB-C cables whenever possible or a small adapter.
- Not all cases include a cable: at first I realized I needed proper cables to take full advantage of fast charging, so I bought a compatible USB-C cable and since then it works perfectly.
