If I tell you I’ve seen at least a thousand different chargers at IFA 2024, it would be a big understatement, but one product really stood out to me as something I’d want and use every day. The Baseus Nomos 5-in-1 solution has literally everything I need in a desk station, and it can replace at least three different products that are sitting on my desk now. But the best part? It has a retractable 100W USB-C PD cable. See, I’m a simple person: I see efficient cable management, and I swoon.

The Nomos 5-in-1 is just a blocky black box (though I wish it came in other colors, too). On top, it has a flippable 15W MagSafe-compatible Qi2 wireless charger and a display, which I’ll come back to later. I like the versatility of the flip here: if I’m charging a phone with magnets built-in or in a MagSafe-compatible case, I can twist up the pad and see my phone’s display while it fills up. But if I’m charging a pair of earbuds or a magnet-less phone, I just flip it down to lay the product down.
