$80USD?
GaN 90/100W chargers from manufacturers like Anker and Monoprice can regularly be had for half of that. Right now there are a lot of 90W ones from unknown-to-me manufacturers for ~$32 on Amazon.
I'm not trying to correct you here; I'm just wondering if there's something I'm missing.
- tgsovlerkhgsel 4y agoI value the absence of house fires too much to buy no-name power banks and chargers (chargers also come with the extra risk of yummy 230V on the output).
- folkrav 4y agoAnker is pretty reliable and far from a no-name IMHO
- fragmede 4y agoExactly this. I tried buying cheaper chargers but they'd inevitably break and I worry that they're damaging my USB-C cables. (I even ran across knockoff fake apple chargers). I don't always buy this[0] $80 charger but I've got a few of them lying about.

- squeaky-clean 4y agoThe cheapest 100w Anker I see on Amazon is the $79.99 PowerPort III. The cheapest I see on their website is the $84.99 Anker 736 Nano II (with no listing for the PowerPort III). There are cheaper Anker chargers on Amazon that say 100w in the title but that's only because they include a 100w capable cable, the charger is a lower wattage.
- hef19898 4y agoBelow 100W, last time I checked, it is easier to find good laptop chargers. Since I need a 135 W one for my laptop, thnings get trickier. Well, the 65W Lenovo from my work laptop managed to hold a charge barely when gaming. So I don't complain too much.
- JohnBooty 4y agoAh, I didn't realize there was such a price jump from the 90W chargers to the 100W chargers.
