that’s a powerful solution Explanation: I think they just mean that it charges quickly, and that it's easy and handy to do it that way. It's like saying: -that's effective -that’s a powerful solution Depending on the context, it could also have other meanings. For instance, the remote can be powerful in the sense that it works well, even though you don't point it directly at a TV on close range. |
