Twelve South's PlugBug is a USB-C charger first and a travel adapter second, and its main selling point is unusual: Apple Find My is built in, so a charger left in a hotel room or buried in a bag can be located from an iPhone or Mac. The Travel 50W edition has two USB-C ports with dynamic power delivery across them, and it ships with six international plug adapters and a travel case. It is slim at 0.86 inches and weighs 110 g. Twelve South lists compatibility with iPhones, iPads and the MacBook Air, and points buyers with a MacBook Pro to the 120W version. For the angle of this list, charging several devices from one adapter, it is the weakest pick: two ports, 50W total and no AC outlet. At $79.99 it costs more than the Ceptics models that charge three times as many devices. It ranks for the narrow group who value tracking and slimness over port count.

Who it is for

Apple users who charge a phone and an iPad or MacBook Air and worry about leaving the charger behind.
