If you haven’t figured out what it is yet – it is a charger. To be exact, this is the most unusual charger I have ever seen.
You know, we have already tested the wireless earbuds from the same brand Gravastar, and now we have a 65W fast charger for laptops, smartphones and other devices.
In general, this company specializes in Sci-Fi devices such as speakers, earbuds, chargers, and other accessories.
Let’s take a closer look at the Gravastar Alpha65 charger, and we will start by unboxing it.

Unboxing
Like the charger itself, its packaging looks attractive. Overall, I think it can be a good gift.
There is the image of the charger on the front of the box, and some features, such as 65W power, made for laptops, tablets, phones and more, PD3.0 fast charging and safety.
On the back, we can read more information about the charger.
Inside the box, we have the charger itself, two wings, European and United Kingdom adapters, as well as a user manual.
Design
You know, the charger is called Alpha65, but it is inspired by Mecha robot. To be honest, I didn’t know about this robot until I googled it. Mecha is a giant robot or machine controlled by people, typically depicted as humanoid walking vehicles.
Although this charger cannot walk, it does look like a robot.
I have the charger in dawn white color, but it is also available in war-damaged yellow and war-damaged blaze blue colors.
It has two eyes that light up when you plug it in, and two legs.
By the way, you can use the charger in three positions. It can stand or sit.
As I said before, the charger has two magnetic wings. They have no function, but just look cool. You can rotate them in different directions.
By default, the charger comes with a US plug, but there are also European and UK adapters in the package. That’s very good.
Overall, the Gravastar Alpha65 charger can be looked at for a very long time. For example, there is a MECHA sign on the front, Alpha65 and official website on the side, some kind of fans on the back, and much more.
By the way, the charger is made very high quality. The legs are difficult to move away, and they do not squeak. In addition, the charge is quite heavy – 165 grams. It looks like a quality product that will last you a long time.
USB Ports
Now let’s talk about the main function of this device – charging. There is 18W USB-A port, 20W USB-C port, and 65W USB-C port on top of the charger.
On the official website, we can see the output power of a single port charging, a dual port charging and a triple port charging.
So, the Gravastar Alpha65 should support charging the laptop and two other devices. Let’s check it out.
Charging Test
So, I plugged my laptop into the charger, as well as two smartphones.
As you can see, they are all charging.
Protections
By the way, the Gravastar Alpha65 charger has 8 real-time protections, including measures against overvoltage, overcurrent and short circuits.
Conclusion
So, Gravastar has made something fantastic out of a simple device. I never thought I would be looking at a charger for so long.
I think it is a perfect gift for a geek or a sci-fi fan.
