"I've been using Native Union's 3-cable Weighter for about a week. It sits on my kitchen table, which also serves as my impromptu workspace on most days. It looks nice when I happen to notice it, and I can be assured that each time I return with my MacBook Pro in hand, I'll find the MagSafe connector right where I left it."
"Before Weighter, I'd just let the cable fall to the ground, requiring a middle-aged bend and audible grunt to restore the connection a few times each day. I've considered using other cable management solutions like any of the hundreds of cheap clips sold online, but I'm reluctant to apply anything ugly or adhesive to my expensive kitchen table. Weighter's precision production and material selection gives it a premium feel."
"The jagged but soft silicone bottom grips onto (and protects) smooth surfaces and provides three slots that cables can easily slide into. The aluminum top is rigid with a slightly rough texture that makes it feel organic. At 170 grams, it sits heavy in the hand, which adds to the feeling of quality. I wouldn't mind it being even heavier if the diminutive size could be maintained."
The Weighter was used on a kitchen table as an impromptu workspace for about a week and consistently kept the MagSafe connector accessible. Before using it, cables frequently fell to the floor, causing repeated bending and effort to reconnect. The user avoided adhesive clips to protect the table. The product's precision production and material selection deliver a premium feel. A jagged but soft silicone base grips and protects surfaces and provides three cable slots. An aluminum top feels rigid and slightly rough. At 170 grams it feels substantial, though greater weight could improve stability. Branding detracts from the aesthetic, and the price seems high.
