Lenovo has expanded its charging solutions with the launch of the new ThinkPlus 65W GaN charger in China. Designed to be highly portable, the charger boasts a tiny footprint, comparable to the size of a standard lipstick, with dimensions of 31x39x63 mm. Despite its modest size, the ThinkPlus 65W GaN charger does not sacrifice functionality, as it has the capability to charge up to three devices at once, making it a convenient accessory for tech-savvy individuals on the go.
The device features a trio of outputs—two USB Type-C ports and one Type-A port. The USB Type-C ports are capable of providing a powerful 65 watts of output each when used individually. However, when all three ports are utilized concurrently, the charging capacity is intelligently distributed to supply a total of 40 watts from the Type-C connections, with an additional 20 watts from the Type-A port.
Safety is a top priority with Lenovo’s new charger, which incorporates a multi-layer protection system to ensure devices are charged without any risk. This eight-layer safety protocol includes over-current, over-voltage, short circuit, extreme temperature, and over-power protection measures, guaranteeing a secure charging experience for users.
Flexibility is another advantage of the ThinkPlus 65W GaN charger. It supports several charging protocols, including PPS, QC3, and PD3, making it a versatile charger compatible with a wide range of devices. Owners of laptops like the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 and MacBook Air M1 and M2, as well as various smartphones and electronic gadgets, can benefit from its all-round compatibility.
In terms of affordability, the ThinkPlus 65W GaN charger offers great value, being introduced in the Chinese market at a price point equivalent to approximately $14 USD. Information regarding a broader release and international pricing remains under wraps for now. However, if immediate availability is essential, consumers might consider alternative GaN chargers like the Anker 735 Nano II, which is currently available online.
Lenovo’s new ThinkPlus 65W GaN charger exemplifies the company’s commitment to delivering compact and efficient charging solutions that cater to the needs of technology enthusiasts with busy, mobile lifestyles. As the demand for faster and more convenient charging options grows, this charger sets the bar for portability without compromising on power or safety.
