Now, can anyone recommend a small, lightweight PD charger that ideally also has 3 to 4 "normal" USB ports, provides 100 Watts and has an EU socket connector? I would love to carry a single power supply for charging all my devices when travelling.

Anker PowerPort Adam PD4 100w [1] is likely the closest. It has two USB-C PD and two USB Type A. It splits that 100w amongst attached devices, giving the full 100w to a single USB-C PD port (20V @ 5A) or sharing the 100w across multiple devices, for example: * Macbook Pro (45w USB-C 15V @ 3A) * iPhone XR (30w USB-C 15V @ 2A) * Battery Pack (12w USB-A 5V @ 2.4A) * Apple Watch (12w USB-A 5V @ 2.4A) Or the simpler everyday use: 15in Macbook Pro (87w) + USB-A (12w). It uses a standard IEC-320-C7 cable for power (two pin, round hole) so getting local cables anywhere should be easy. MSRP is $99.99. Availability is a tight, but it does exist. A few sites have reviewed it and there's at least one teardown on the web. [1]: https://amzn.to/35EB0pe https://amzn.to/35EB0pe

  This looks promising, thanks. Still a bit on the heavy/large side. Is this using GaN tech already?

    I've been looking at the innergie chargers. They use GaN. I've been looking at this once since its so small. http://www.myinnergie.com/sg/product/136 http://www.myinnergie.com/sg/product/136

      Correction: the innergie does not use GaN

      I didn't like a review saying it's small because some components were left in the cable and hence not all USB-C cables work. It might be an outlier/mistake, but yeah... I have been using this RAVPower 61W Wall Charger for some weeks now, and it's GaN: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07TC53ZYD https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07TC53ZYD

    Had never heard of GaN. Googled and they are amazing! Thank you.

    My understanding is that it is not.
