What customers say about "Interfaces"

  • USB-C charging cable. Good for my needs.
  • The Beolit 15 has a mini USB port inside the power cord compartment in the back for updating the firmware.
  • It even has a USB charging port so you can charge your phone/etc.
  • The USB port on the back can only be used to charge devices.
  • There is a European power adapter included but no USB cable. Poor quality of cables.
