Using a PlugBug vs your MacBook USB ports for charging offers more power, frees up your USB ports, and offers more convenience.
More Power. The iPad requires much more power than a standard USB device. Most MacBook USB ports do not charge iPad at full speed - some older MacBooks, not at all. The PlugBug provides the fastest charge possible to your iPad. At home, a slow overnight charge of your iPad from your MacBook might not be a big deal. But between flights or meetings, charging an iPad as much as you can - as fast as possible - can be a really big deal. In situations like this, PlugBug can be a lifesaver.
More Ports. The MacBooks have very limited ports. PlugBug is the answer.
More Convenience. If you have a MacBook and an iPad - you probably carry two power adapters - one for each. PlugBug combines this into one dual-charging device: that's one less thing to carry and one less charger to forget! And only one free outlet is needed in a crowded airport or coffee shop.
