There will always be a moment where you
would curse at the lack of power plug points when working on-the-go. While most
cafes are equipped to host you, the chance of the source of power being taken
up by other like-minded individuals is high. After all, employers are
increasingly encouraging this trend. Being an unintentional (cough) Apple user,
I am running on the quintessential eco-system – MacBook Pro, iPad and iPhone.
While there are plenty of external battery solutions for the last two devices;
I personally have not come across any battery packs for the brand’s notebooks.
Not until this review at least.

HyperJuice 2 is a next-generation battery pack that can charge multiple Apple
(and non-Apple) products simultaneously
Lifesaving backup
The new HyperJuice 2 External Battery that
is designed specifically for MacBooks and iPad is a lifesaver when the storms
kept tripping the electricity at home. At first, the size of the external
battery put me off but upon comparison with the first version, the HyperJuice 2
is much sleeker and sexier. The unit itself features several ports, including a
DC In, DC Out and two USB ports, along with an OLED display that spell out
information such as power rating percentage, temperature and status. On the
display’s immediate right is the inconspicuous power button.

Long lasting
With the external battery being fully
charged which takes about 4 hours, I didn’t need to worry about running out of
juice so easily. In fact, I had been charging the MacBook, iPhone and a 3000
mAh T.Bag Portable Power Bank, all at the same time, for slight more than 6
hours without a hitch. It’s size is the only hindrance, especially if you are
travelling light while on the move. It brings new meaning to the term “power
brick”.
Designed
to blend in nicely with your portable Apple devices.
