Baseus NOMOS 5 in 1 review: the best desktop charger

Forget about all the chargers you have. Baseus’ latest invention may be the ultimate solution to simplify charging your devices and improve cable management at your desk. We are talking about the 140W NOMOS 5 in 1, which is basically a charging station to have on your desk or on any table where you want to charge up to five different devices.

It features two USB-C fast charging ports (up to 140W), a USB-A port for slow charging devices, and a retractable 100W USB-C cable for more efficient cable management. The icing on the cake is its MagSafe-compatible 15W Qi2 wireless charging pad. which also works as an adjustable holder for your mobile. And if that were not enough, it has a loading information screen. It is very complete and practical!

I have been using it for several days and it is, by far, the best desktop charger I’ve tried so far. Let me explain why below.

Baseus NOMOS 5 in 1 140W: a very practical desktop charger with screen and power to spare

As we always do, we leave you the technical sheet of the Baseus NOMOS 5 in 1 140W before starting the review so that you can consult its specifications yourself when you need it.

What is the Baseus NOMOS 5 in 1 140W charger like?

The Baseus NOMOS 5 in 1 140W is a charger designed to be kept on a desk or table. It is rectangular; measures 20.1 x 17.1 centimeters with a thickness of 6.2 centimeters. Its weight is 476 grams, which makes it not ideal for travel, although nothing really prevents you from taking it in a backpack anywhere.

Its power cord is detachable and plugs directly into a power outlet (without a cumbersome power supply). This not only makes carrying the charger easier, but also keeps plug connections simple.

Its construction is robust. It is made of a very firm plastic that dissipates heat very well. and it doesn’t seem like it’s going to break easily. All its ports are solid; They don’t feel flimsy and allow effortless connection and disconnection of cables.

One of the things I like most about this charger is its Integrated USB-C cable with retractable mechanism. If you pull it, it will come out up to about 80 cm and if you release it, it will return to the inside of the charger so as not to take up space. The protruding tip of this retractable cable is not loose, as it is magnetically attached to the front of the charger.

It is a very practical cable, since it allows you to charge your mobile phone, laptop or other device without having to look for a cable for it. Besides, It is long enough to reach most desks. Ah! AND supports up to 100 W of powerso there is no need to worry about whether it supports high charging speeds or not.

Along with this cable, there are two fast-charging USB-C ports and one slow-charging USB-A (we’ll talk in depth about the speed of each port later). But the most interesting thing is its wireless, magnetic charging pad that deploys from the top of the charger. It is compatible with any device that supports wireless charging, including new generation iPhones, as it has Qi2 and MagSafe technology.

It should be noted that the wireless charging pad It can be raised and tilted up to 60 degrees, so it doubles as a mobile phone stand. that have MagSafe (all Apple phones from iPhone 12 onwards) or a magnetic case. By the way, you can leave this pad lying down to charge items such as headphones or watches without problem.

Right next to this wireless charging pad is your LCD information screen that shows you the power and type of charge in real time of ports, retractable cable and wireless charging. It has a low brightness, which I don’t think is bad, as it looks perfectly good and doesn’t bother visually on the desktop. Apart, It has a button on the side of the charger to turn it off or toggle its interface between a simpler one and a more detailed one.

How does the Baseus NOMOS 5 in 1 140W charger work?

The 140W Baseus NOMOS 5 in 1 has plenty of power to charge your laptop and your mobile, even at the same time. If you want to squeeze all its power out of a single port, you will have to use the one marked as Type-C3 that can reach 140 W with the PD 3.1 protocol (You must also have a cable and a device that supports this protocol). If you own a 16-inch MacBook Pro, this is the ideal desktop charger for you.

Now, the normal thing is that you don’t need so much power through a single port, but through several ports. Then, You can connect all the devices you want to the charger and the maximum power will be distributed as shown in the following diagram:

To charge most mobile phones you have the retractable cable that gives you a power of 100 W or the “Type-C2” port that also gives you a maximum of 100 W. For devices that do not use fast charging, such as smartwatches, headphones, controllers and flashlights, you have the USB-A port which reaches up to 15 W. And for more comfortable charging, you have the wireless charging pad with a maximum power of 15 W.

In particular, It has worked well for me charging all types of devices. It does not heat up excessively or present failures, as it incorporates six different protections against possible electrical problems.

Is the Baseus NOMOS 5 in 1 140W charger worth it?

With its retractable cable, adjustable magnetic wireless charging pad, information display and power up to 140W, We are facing the most complete and practical charger on the market. The 140W Baseus NOMOS 5-in-1 can not only charge up to 5 devices at once, but also organize your desk, replacing multiple chargers and simplifying cable management.

Has Plenty of power to charge demanding laptops like the 16-inch MacBook Proas well as smartphones, consoles, power banks and much more. So, if you don’t like clutter, I 100% recommend this charger. It will help you free up space and reduce visual clutter on your desk.

Its retail price is 179,99 €although it is usually on sale at a slightly lower price. It seems to me a reasonable price for a 140W charger with wireless charging, LCD screen and up to an integrated 100W USB-C cable. In quality-price, it is unmatched.
