    New High-Speed Charger From Lenovo

    Lenovo has released a new fast charging brick in China, the 150W Multi-port GaN Power Adapter. It sports a total of three USB-C ports and can offer up to 150W fast charging. This compact device is design to juice up multiple gadgets at once without slowing down to much.

    Port Speeds and Output Details

    Among the three ports, the C1 and C2 max out at 140W, while the third Type-C port can offer up to 65W of power. When all three of them are connected, the first two can go up to 65W each, while the third one can offer up to 20W of power. That means the total output will stand at 150W if all the ports are in use, making it a versatile option for users with many devices.

    Compatability and Safety Features

    The company highlights support for multiple fast charging protocols, including PPS, PD 3.2, and QC 3.0. This broad compatibility allows the power adapter to power up a broad range of devices, including laptops and low-power accessories. Unlike some of the high-power output chargers from other brands (such as the 4-port Anker 140W charger that’s curr. $79.99 on Amazon), this Lenovo power adapter doesn’t feature a built-in display. There aren’t any indicators either, but the good part is that the company has integrated multiple safety features, including over-current and over-temperature protections. This ensures your devices stay safe while charging quickly.

    Design and Global Availibility

    Another thing to note is that the charger doesn’t have foldable prongs, but this might change on the global version. Speaking of which, Lenovo hasn’t yet shared anything on when this 150W adapter may be available in the international market. In China, however, it costs CNY 339, around $50, making it stand as a pretty affordable charging brick for its power output rating. This price point makes it an attractive option for anyone needing high-speed charging without breaking the bank.
