If your desk currently resembles a tangled nest of cables and adapters, Xiaomi might have the solution you’ve been waiting for. The tech giant has unveiled the Xiaomi Desktop Charging Station 140W, a powerful all-in-one hub designed to bring order to the chaos. Set to launch in China first through a crowdfunding campaign, this accessory packs a staggering eight outputs into a compact form factor, promising to be the central power command center for your home office or gaming setup.
One Hub to Power Them All
The standout feature is its comprehensive array of ports. On the front face, users will find a versatile mix for modern devices: two USB-C ports each capable of delivering up to a full 140W, and two USB-A ports with outputs of 120W and 5W respectively. The dedicated low-current 5W USB-A port is a thoughtful touch, perfect for safely charging sensitive devices like wireless earbuds or a smartwatch overnight.
The real intelligence lies in its dynamic power distribution. When all four front ports are occupied, the station smartly allocates power based on demand. For example, it can split the output into configurations like 65W + 45W + 22.5W + 5W, allowing you to fast-charge a laptop, a tablet, a phone, and a wearable simultaneously. This flexibility ensures your most power-hungry devices get the juice they need without compromise.
More Than Just USB: Integrated AC Outlets
What truly sets this apart from a standard multi-port charger is its integration of four AC outlets on the top and rear panel. This includes two two-pin and two five-pin sockets, with the entire unit supporting a massive total AC output of 2,500W. This means you can plug in everything from your desktop monitor and a desk lamp to a printer directly into the station, significantly reducing your reliance on bulky traditional power strips.
Supporting a wide range of fast-charging protocols including PD3.1, QC4+, and PPS, the station is compatible with virtually any smartphone, tablet, or laptop on the market. Despite its powerhouse capabilities, it maintains a relatively small footprint, measuring 95 x 71 x 53 mm and weighing just under 500 grams.
Launch Details and Pricing
The product will debut on Xiaomi's crowdfunding platform, YouPin. For early backers, the Xiaomi Desktop Charging Station 140W presents a compelling value. The crowdfunding price is set at CNY 249 (approximately $36), with an expected future retail price of CNY 299 (around $43). You can check out the official crowdfunding page and secure your unit here.
While the initial launch is confirmed for China, global availability remains uncertain. Xiaomi has a history of testing product reception through its YouPin platform before a wider release. In markets like Europe, the company already sells complementary accessories like the popular Xiaomi Magnetic Power Bank. For further technical details and early impressions, a detailed report can be found on ITHome.
For anyone looking to streamline their workspace, the Xiaomi Desktop Charging Station 140W appears to be a promising, all-encompassing solution, turning cable management from a headache into a simple plug-and-play experience.
