Griffin has been playing around with a
0:03
build as the fastest charging 3 in1
0:06
charger on the market right now. It's
0:08
everything is boosted to the max. And
0:10
it's how do you pronounce that? Uh
0:12
Griffin.
0:13
Cooku.
0:14
This is the only reason you review it.
0:15
So you get to say that over and over.
0:17
Cooku.
0:18
Cookie. The Cooksu X40 Turbo. Looks like
0:20
a tiny little square. It is very small.
0:23
This is the Cooku X40 Turbo. This is
0:25
their third such uh 3in-1 charger of
0:28
this style. The idea is that it's kind
0:31
of like a a small metal square. And uh
0:35
you know from the top then you turn on
0:36
the side and you see it's like three
0:37
different like little layered metal
0:39
squares and they unfold sort of like a
0:42
uh an accordion shape or like a Z-shape.
0:45
You know, each of the joints is
0:46
adjustable and u on the on the topmost
0:49
square you can magnetically attach an
0:51
iPhone which I will do now. Boy, it's
0:54
amazing that that's stable. It looks
0:55
like it would just topple over.
0:57
Yeah. Yeah. And then uh on the middle
1:00
square uh when it's unfolded, you have
1:02
like a little pop out Apple Watch
1:04
charger. Slide that on. And then on the
1:07
bottom most layer, you have a regular
1:08
chi charger where you can attach your
1:11
AirPods. And those just sort of uh sit
1:14
on there as well. But the uh top one,
1:17
the MagSafe one, is Chi 2.2. So, it's
1:20
fully Mags safe compatible with, you
1:22
know, iPhones and, you know, the new
1:24
Android phones like the the Pixel phones
1:26
that have G2.2. And that means that it
1:29
also charges at the maximum power rating
1:31
of 25 watts. So, uh, this is actually
1:35
one of the very few 3in-1 chargers that
1:38
can that can make that sort of claim.
1:40
There's there's not a lot of other ones
1:41
out there. I think there might only just
1:42
be one or two, but this is my my
1:46
favorite 3 in1 charger. had the the the
1:48
previous one, the X40 for years. You
1:51
know, I keep it on my bedside. It's
1:52
perfect for travel because again, it
1:54
looks really nice. It's really sort of
1:56
subtle. Fits all three of their devices
1:58
and it folds up really tiny.
2:00
Uh and this is by far their
2:02
their smallest and lightest one,
2:04
the the previous one, the X40Q,
2:07
uh relative to that, this one is 33%
2:09
thinner, 30% lighter, a much smaller
2:12
footprint. That's like 12% smaller. The
2:15
hinges are are the hinges solid? I mean,
2:18
do they stay solid over time? I mean, it
2:20
they have to be or they wouldn't be able
2:21
to work, but I mean, is it is it How
2:24
hard is it to pry that thing into shape?
2:26
I mean, that's what I like about this.
2:28
The build quality is absolutely
2:29
excellent that like each of these layers
2:31
is uh made out of aluminum and CNC mil
2:34
just like, you know, your iPhone is.
2:37
Each of the layers has like this uh nice
2:39
really nice like rubber soft touch soft
2:41
touch rubber padding on it. They even
2:43
add it like on the inside around the uh
2:45
the Apple Watch charger in the middle
2:47
just because it makes it feel nice and
2:49
premium. The hinges are like a a
2:52
continuous piece that's like milled out
2:54
of the same layer. So they're they're
2:56
all really solid. The joints feel really
2:57
nice. Um they even have, you know, a
3:00
little uh rubber layer on the bottom
3:02
just so it doesn't, you know, slide
3:03
around on your glass nightstand as much.
3:07
If you're just listening to this and you
3:08
you can't see it, I mean, it really it
3:10
almost looks like it defies gravity. I
3:12
mean, if you'd have just showed me that,
3:13
I'd be like, how is that going to stand
3:15
in place? It It looks kind of crazy.
3:17
It's super small.
3:18
Even if you have a a super heavy Pro Max
3:21
phone and a big heavy case, it'll it'll
3:22
stay stable.
3:23
Wow.
3:24
So, it's nice.
3:25
Looks impressive.
3:27
You also get a uh braided USB cable. You
3:30
get a 40 watt GAN power adapter. And it
3:33
also comes with a really nice uh travel
3:35
case that's a nice linen, really
3:38
lightweight. You can unzip it and uh fit
3:42
all three of the uh the things in there.
3:44
Did Did it come with a white cable?
3:47
It does come with a white cable, which
3:48
is really annoying.
3:49
Weird cuz the thing itself, it only
3:51
comes in black or what?
3:53
It comes in this gray. It comes in an
3:57
even darker black and it also comes in
4:00
gray but with a sort of fake wood
4:02
pattern on the on each layer, which is
4:06
interesting.
4:06
Weird. This is my favorite in the whole
4:08
series that they've made because the uh
4:10
you know the the line art is really
4:11
subtle and gray. Like on the bottom
4:13
layer it sort of depicts like an AirPods
4:16
case that you know to put it on there
4:17
which
4:18
I'm not a huge fan of. I I'm not sure if
4:20
I need a picture of the AirPods on it
4:22
but it's really subtle because it's like
4:23
you know black on dark gray and it's
4:25
really thin. Looks very classy.
4:28
Yeah. So this is for sale for $80 on
4:31
Amazon. We'll have a link in the show
4:32
notes. Uh I highly recommend it. you
4:34
know, it's it's great to have on your
4:36
nightstand and it's uh super easy to
4:38
pack away and you you know, you've got,
4:40
you know, that little hotel outlet. You
4:43
don't know how many you're going to have
4:44
or if you're on the train and you don't
4:46
know if you're going to have access to
4:47
like multiple outlets, much less one.
4:50
You know, if you have one outlet, you
4:52
know, you can charge up all three of
4:53
your devices uh super easily.
4:55
Yeah, it looks good. It looks a really
4:57
nice product. I have one of those travel
4:58
chargers. I just because I'm traveling,
5:00
I just dug it out and then when I got
5:01
here, I discovered that somebody had
5:04
stolen the the the the power brick. So,
5:08
I had to get a new which came in the
5:10
case. So, it was the only thing missing
5:11
from the case, but it was like that. It
5:12
was very much like that. Uh mine's an
5:15
older version, but that one looks really
5:16
sweet. Looks a really nice good product.
5:18
Good for traveling. Good for your desk.
5:20
All right. Nice job. Good job there,
5:22
Griffin.
