The inexpensive Baseus charger can charge up to three devices simultaneously at up to 65 W total. Not bad for a universal charger that's just a fraction of the size of most other chargers.
The Baseus USB-C charger is $15 USD off at the moment for a final price of $35. Unlike most other cheaper USB chargers, this particular model includes 3 USB ports (2x USB-C and 1x USB-A) to charge up to three devices simultaneously at up to 65 W total.
Perhaps the best feature of the Baseus charger is its foldable prongs for easier transporting or storing. In comparison, most chargers that are included with smartphones or laptops have fixed prongs that can be annoying to work with.
A drawback to the Baseus charger is its shape. While small and compact at just 3.2 x 3.6 x 7.5 cm, it is over two times longer than it is wide which means that the charger will likely droop when connected to some wall outlets. This can be easily observed when connecting the charger to an outlet on an airplane where the weight of the charger may disconnect the prongs from the wall.
Aside from the above, this is still a solid USB-C charger especially given the price. The 130 W USB-C Razer charger, for example, is over 5 times more expensive than this Baseus sale. The packaging doesn't include any cables, however, and so users will have to provide their own USB-C to USB-C or USB-A charging cables.
USB-C port #1 output: Up to 20V/3.25A (or 65 W)
USB-C port #2 output: Up to 20V/1.5A (or 30 W)

The packaging includes only the adapter with no cables
The two prongs can flip for easier transport
Small and compact size with the same GaN charging technology as the Razer charger

When connected to cheaper wall outlets, the adapter may fall at an angle as the prongs cannot hold the weight of the charger

After graduating with a B.S. in environmental hydrodynamics from the University of California, I studied reactor physics to become licensed by the U.S. NRC to operate nuclear reactors. There's a striking level of appreciation you gain for everyday consumer electronics after working with modern nuclear reactivity systems astonishingly powered by computers from the 80s. When I'm not managing day-to-day activities and US review articles on Notebookcheck, you can catch me following the eSports scene and the latest gaming news.
