Amazon [amazon.com]GaN USB-C Chargers are on sale. I've been watching this 65w charger since I missed the all-time low price of $11.59. While it's not the lowest it's been, this is a good price if you want to pick up a small-form-factor GaN USB C charger that is capable of charging most devices, even many laptops.

Note: Amazon Basics GaN chargers are not PPS, so it won't do super-fast-charging on recent Samsung phones.

Other versions of Amazon Basics (non-PPS) chargers are on sale too:

    GaN is a technology used to make smaller, more efficient chargers.

    PPS stands for programmable power supply. It allows chargers to vary their output in a way that enables super fast charging for some advanced devices, like recent Samsung smartphones.

    I hate that Amazon got rid of the reply to comments feature. Looking at the reviews with pictures, there are several reviews where people actually test the unit. Then there is a lady that gave it 1/5 stars because it 'didnt work with her iphone', and the second picture she uploaded is a USB-A cable not fitting (because the charger is USB-C)
    yeah, some people are dumb af xD

    I've been trying to find a good price small form charger at less than $30 but I've been hitting issues since they can't seem to keep up with my usage. Depending on the program, the charging craps out and turns to a plug symbol instead of the lightning on my MacBook Pro 2018…

    These are UL listed. Worth the $3 over a no name chinese one with zero safety approvals to me.

    Do you guys think this would be more of a quality product as compared to the monoprice brand or about the same?

    My intention is to use it to charge my Thinkpad X1 when I'm not home but my only concern if this charge (or the monoprice one) could potentially mess it up if it isn't a quality item.

    Despite 2x + the price, how does this compare to the Anker 715? The Anker 715 is currently on sale at $35

    I actually have both the Anker 715 and Amazon GaN 65W.

    For weight they are similar, and due to its square shape, the Anker uses up less plug real-estate. I don't have devices that need or benefit from PPS, so I actually use the Amazon GaN charger more often since it charges my Pixel 7 Pro a little faster/more consistently.

    For some reason the Anker varies wattage more often during a charge session (according to my USB C cable that has a little wattage display). Due to the wattage-varying behavior, the Anker ends up charging my phone more slowly (maybe more gently, but speed is my goal in the morning).

    What is a Gan, pps and why is it needed?
    GaN is Gallium Nitride. They are used to make chargers that have small form factor and higher efficiency.

    Yep. It'll probably charge during regular use too, but that depends on the total drain your laptop has. If your workload is taking more than 65w it won't keep up. However, the Gram is thin and light so this should probably charge no matter your workload.

    Honest question. Being thin and light means less workload? Don't see the connection at all.

    Usually thin and light laptops have lower wattage processors (<15w TDP) and chipsets so that you can get decent battery life out of a smaller battery. All of this means a smaller charger can keep up with the power needs and that you can't expect the same horsepower you'd get from a desktop with a 65w+ processor (of similar CPU generation/newness).

    I received both this Amazon Basics 65W and the Anker 715 65W and I'm impressed with the Amazon Basics one. I'm a 10 year Anker user and thought I would easily like Anker more, but in fact it's the opposite. My testing is based on a M2 MacBook Air and for the reasons below:
    1. The Amazon Basics 65W charges cool while the Anker 715 65W charges pretty warm
    2. Volume wise the Anker is a tad smaller, but it's also 0.7 oz heavier, enough to be noticeable (Amazon is 3.4 oz where the Anker is 4.1 oz)
    3. Anker 715 is $35 at the time of purchase (3/21), where the Amazon is $15.

    For these reasons, I cannot justify the Anker and will be returning it and be getting another Amazon basics 65W.

    Thanks for the deal and the early heads up!
