The company FINsix is a Kickstarter campaign started for the early sales of the Dart; according to the company, “the smallest and lightest laptopadapter until now’. Who supports the project, can the charger in the summer for 79 dollars. The final price is 119 dollars.
A model of the Dart from the first run of 1000 pieces is for 79 dollar reserve, and is available in summer. For 10 dollars more, there is already a version to book in november, but the final retail price is 119 dollars, converted 86 euro. FINsix only delivers in the US. Who is the Dart wants to have and not live in the U.S., must wait until march 2015 and a Dart Plus adapter. That bundle costs $ 130.
Also MacBook owners to pay more. In december for 148 dollars the Dart for MacBook for early buyers. After that first print run of 500 pieces is a model of a production cycle of 1500 yet to get for $ 168. FINsix explains the surcharge with the fact that the company for a variation of its own a completely new MacBook adapter need to purchase.
The Dart is four times smaller and six times as light as a typical laptopvoeding, according to the maker. The power supply is based on a technique that the MIT is developed and that uses of vhf, between 30 mhz and 300MHz for the inverter. The higher the frequency, the smaller the adapter, but until now, the return of small transducers with high frequencies are still low. The researchers at MIT and FINsix have overcome this problem by the energy that is normally lost in the power adapter again to use. The capacity is up to 65W.
