The device uses 10 watts of power and hence charges your hardware faster than ordinary chargers. When you only need to power up your iPad or iPhone, disconnect the plugbug from your MacBook adapter which makes it act as a standalone charger. A great idea whilst travelling or work, as you can charge of two devices at the same time.

The charger is designed to connect all MacBook power adapters (Air, Standard and Pro). Thus it eliminates the need of carrying separate chargers for your apple devices; you can charge them all using this amazing sleek and compact device.

The Creative Director at Twelve South, Andrew Green said, “PlugBug is a dream product for us. It improves on MacBook’s own Power Adapter, adds a completely new idea to iPad/iPhone chargers, and it simplifies the lives of die-hard Apple fans – like me – who carry multiple Apple devices wherever they go.”

You must be thinking – Why is Plugbug red? Guy Kawaski, author and Mac Evangelist insisted it to be red so that it can be easily found even if kept in any corner of the room or far away distance. You can take home this little beauty by paying off $34.99 from the Twelve South website.
