Phorce announced the world's first smart bag that can charge three devices including a laptop, iPad and a smartphone simultaneously.
The wide range of smart gadgets now extends beyond smartphones and smart TVs. Phorce Pro is the latest addition to the smart market that redefines the purpose of bags. With a powerful portable battery inside, Phorce smart bag is the key to never run out of juice on electronic devices. The startup unveiled the world's first smart bag, Phorce Pro, at the IFA 2014 in Berlin, after originally launching it as a Kickstarter project in 2012.
Frequent travelers are familiar with the need to charge on the go. While most power banks are limited to smartphones and tablets, the Phorce Pro can also transfer charge to a laptop or a Mac. It uses a 26,000mAh battery to charge up to three devices simultaneously, which means it can fully charge a laptop or an iPhone 5S 14 times, the company said in its official product webpage.
In addition to the charging capability, the Phorce Pro can be paired with a smartphone using its iOS and Android app. The mobile app can be used to check the remaining battery life on the power bank in the bag and also estimate the time left before the connected device is fully charged. The app sports an anti-theft feature, which pushes an alert to the paired smartphone in case the bag is left behind.
Phorce Pro can also be a suitable choice for travelling. With its multi-transformation feature, it can be used as a backpack, messenger bag or a briefcase. It can also be used as a trolley bag. The bag is also compliant with the IATA guidelines, which means it can be carried along with other luggage on flights, according to the FAQ's section.
Using 360-degree expansion zip, the bag's size can be doubled to make more room for additional storage. It sports separate compartments for a laptop, tablet and smartphone. The water-resistance fabric, protective padding, waterproof zippers will keep the electronic gadgets safe inside.
The Phorce Pro bag comes in black and red color options. Mac users get a separate kit for $699 while the PC variant of the bag costs $649. Shipping is expected to begin September 30.
