The new GaN chargers are nice and compact, but for some reason only available as third party accessories. I'd have thought laptop manufacturers would be jumping on the tech, but even Apple are still shipping bulky power supplies.
- elliottkember 3y agoApple’s just released a new 70w GaN charger
- esperent 3y agoMy laptop was advertised as being 2.4kg. But the charger weighs 900g, so it feels almost like a scam to claim that (it's a 240w charger and it's the size and weight of a literal brick). The real weight of the laptop + charger + plug is 3.5kg. It's become a kind of hobby of mine, once a month or so, to search AliExpress to see if there's any way I can replace my 240w MSI charging brick with a GAN version yet. I keep finding GAN chargers that almost work - either not quite powerful enough, or don't have the right adapter.
- hypercube33 3y agoI agree. And have complained to Lenovo that they have mini gumstick chargers but ship bulky ones and their desktops don't run on USB-C which is lame for minis. sure, have the option for DC in but I prefer everything one cable so future me doesn't have a box of ac adapters.
