Satechi’s new Aluminum Power Strip ($40) is worth a look as a charging base for both Mac and iOS users. As its name reveals, the power strip is made mostly of aluminum, which makes it a bit nicer to look at than most power strips. Four surge-protected AC power outlets are on top, while the side of the strip includes four 2.4A USB ports for charging. It’s worth noting that the total output is 6A, which means you’ll only be able to charge up to two iPads at full speed at once.
