Lenovo has introduced the ThinkPlus 65W GaN charger in China. It’s pocket-sized, measuring 31x39x63 mm, and the company says that it’s about the size of a lipstick. Although it has a compact form factor, the charging brick can power three devices simultaneously. It comes with three ports, with one of them being Type-A and the others being Type-C.
The two USB Type-C ports of this GaN charging brick can deliver up to 65 watts of power when used, respectively, while the Type-A port maxes out at 22.5 watts. When you use three of them at the same time, you will get a combined 40 watts of power from the Type-C ports, while the Type-A will offer 20 watts.
To offer safe and worry-free charging, Lenovo has integrated eight layers of safety features in the new ThinkPlus 65W GaN charger. That includes over-current, over-voltage, short circuit, extreme temperature, and over-power protection.
As far as compatibility goes, the new Lenovo ThinkPlus charger supports multiple protocols. Among them are PPS, QC3, and PD3. This means you can use the charging brick to power pretty much anything, including laptops such as the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 and MacBook Air M1 and M2.
When it comes to the price, Lenovo launched the ThinkPlus 65W GaN charger in China at CNY 99, which is about $14. The company hasn’t yet shared details on global launch and pricing, but if you’re looking for something similar, check out the Anker 735 Nano II (curr. $39.99 on Amazon).
