Sometimes I end up with an orphaned power brick — perhaps I’ve tossed or lost the gadget.

Right now, you can buy the “starlight” model at Amazon and B&H Photo with 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, an eight-core CPU, and a 30W power brick for $1,099.

At $169, it's a fair bit cheaper than Hyper's version — but it will have to be attached to a massive power brick, and it can only manage 60W of charging.

Hyper, the company behind those stackable GaN chargers and powerful battery banks, is running a Kickstarter for a Thunderbolt 4 hub that's truly compact thanks to the fact that it doesn't need a massive power brick like the ones that weigh down other hubs.

It's an effective and inexpensive solution for topping off your phone overnight, but bear in mind that it doesn't come with a power brick and maxes out at 10W charging speeds.
