All laptop chargers are terrible. Compared to phone chargers, carrying around a laptop charger is like carrying around a whole other device…that has tentacles. It gets in the way, it may weigh over a pound, and like inkjet printers, they haven’t evolved since 2005.

Dart is a Kickstarter campaign trying to change all of that. Proposed by FINsix, the Dart is a device using very high frequency (VHF) power conversion, MIT technology that allows the hardware to charge your laptop the same way your old charger did, just in a smaller, more aesthetically pleasing case. There’s a whole lot of electrical jargon about how the device does what it does and why it works, but the bottom line is if your laptop is on this Compatibility List, you can be charging easily in 22 days. The campaign is already $150,000 ahead of its goal, so why not?

What Sparks Our Fire: Seeing a need for improvement and acting on that need. Now, please fix these terrible printers.

Do you dislike your current charger enough to upgrade to the Dart?
