Eight and a half dollars to forgo that annoyance?!
I linked (and have) the 20W version for $24. (It is usually $15) The 30W version is currently $24 as well. As I mentioned above - it will charge my chromebook or work laptop while I'm using the device. More is not always better.

It doesn't come with a cable as pretty much every phone or tablet sold comes with a USB-C cable so many households have a dozen or so sitting around. Personally I would rather carry around a 1 inch square cube than a giant charging brick and I would pay the extra $7. Your preferences may be different.


As Freebeard mentioned - if you are crawling under your desk to plug and unplug things a basic powerstrip will solve that problem.
