Ninety7 LOFT adds stand alone power to the Google Home assistant

Ninety7, the same company who created the VAUX speaker for the Amazon Echo Dot which Joe reviewed earlier this summer, now has two new products. The LOFT and the DOX that have been designed for the Google Home and latest generation of the Echo Dot.

The LOFT is a battery base for the Google Home that makes your Google Home assistant portable. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery in the base provides up to 8 hours of unplugged freedom.

The LOFT is available in three colors that include the copper color you see above, carbon, and snow. The battery base is priced at $39.95. Shipping for the carbon version of the LOFT will start shipping mid-October and the other two colors will ship at the end of October.

If you have the 2nd generation version of the Amazon Echo Dot, the new DOX will turn this small Alexa device into a cord-free assistant. The DOX has a built-in rechargeable battery the provides up to 10 hours untethered portable use.

The DOX is available in carbon and ash and is priced at $29.95 with shipping to start mid-October.

Harness the power of the sun to charge your gear while you drive, fly, or just sit around at home

The Port Solar Charger from XD Design is designed to stick to a window and use the sun’s rays to power your gadgets.

This solar charger has a built-in battery that can be charged with a USB cable which will take about 2 hours or by sunlight which can take up to 20 hours. Yeah, you can’t be in a hurry 🙂

The Port Solar Charger’s built-in battery has a capacity of 1000mAh, so it won’t fully charge your phone. But it’s better than nothing and it’s free power.

I am not sure how well a solar charger like this works, as it depends on how much sunlight is hitting the window it’s attached to. But it would be a cool way to power your devices for free if you frequently travel by train, plane, or automobile, or if you have a nice big window that gets a lot of sunlight.

The price of the Port Solar Charger, on the other hand, isn’t free. It is priced at $49.99. For more info head over to www.xd-design.com and you can buy one from Amazon.

New MacBook chargers don’t have wings but PowerPlay can make traveling with your MacBook easier again

For some unknown reason, newer MacBook and MacBook Pro chargers no longer have two fold out wings to wind excess cable around. What’s up with that Apple? Instead of mumbling under your breath every time you need to carry your MacBook and charger with you when you travel, consider PowerPlay. PowerPlay adds cord organization capability to your existing charger so you can thumb your nose at Apple.

The PowerPlay adds a leather cord reel to your existing MacBook and MacBook Pro charger that attached to your power adapter with an elastic band. You don’t have to remove it when you want to use the adapter as it will keep the cables neatly organized and out of the way even when the charger is plugged in.

You can roll out the length of the cable that you need and keep the rest neatly stored on the reel.

You can buy a PowerPlay in various colors for $35. Visit abovethefray.co for more info and Amazon to order some colors for $29.99.
