Affordable three-port Lenovo ThinkPlus charger launches with 100W fast charging support

The Lenovo ThinkPlus GaN charger has been updated, and the new version comes with a three-port design. Among the three, there are two USB Type-C ports and one USB Type-A. However, the form factor remains identical to the one-port version.

There's a foldable prong, and Lenovo claims that it's 50% smaller than regular chargers with the same power output rating. The GaN Pro chip inside is also said to offer relatively high efficiency, with the brand claiming that its energy efficiency is 93%.

Getting back to the port configuration of the charger, the two USB-C ports max out at 100W, while the Type-A port can offer up to 30W of power. When all of them are connected to devices, the C1 maxes out at 65W, while the C2 and USB-A offer 15W combined.

Its max charging rating, per Lenovo, allows the charger to get the ThinkPad X1 from 0% to 44% in 30 minutes. The MacBook Pro 16 is said to reach 40% in the same time frame.

Lenovo also highlights the broad compatibility of the three-port ThinkPlus charger. It works with QC 3.0, PD 3.0, AFC, FCP, PPS, and other protocols, allowing the travel adapter to power up a wide range of devices.

Another notable aspect is the bundled fast charging cable. Lenovo includes a 1.5-meter cable with support for 240W, at least in China. Speaking of which, the Chinese launch price of this three-port power adapter is CNY 229, about $32. The company hasn't shared any details on the international launch yet, but it's worth mentioning that not many ThinkPlus-branded accessories officially go global (similarly-configured Anker Prime 100W charger curr. $41.99 on Amazon).
