- The 140W charger would give 100W to the first thing you plug in, and then 30W or less to the second thing you plug in. This doesn't work great for two laptops. This charger is smarter, IMO. It also starts at 100W for the first thing you plug in but, when you plug in the second device, it reduces it to 60W on both ports, a much better split.
- The 140W charger had a cord, which IMO is better for travel because bulky boxes like this don't always fit into available sockets in airports, hotels, etc. Regardless, I seem to be doing OK with this one.
- It's solidly built and feels premium.
- If you have two laptops and plug in a 3rd/4th item, you'll get 60W, 30W, and max 30W on the next 2/3 devices. This is a sensible breakdown IMO and makes it convenient, but I see it as using it for two devices max on most occasions and plugging in a 3rd/4th when I have to.
- In the scenario above, the 3rd/4th item can simple be a cord with a resistive load (e.g. Apple lightning cable) and it will still redistribute the power across the ports as, e.g. 60/30/18 watts. This not great, but hasn't been much of an issue.
- If you plug in one or more laptops continuously or for long periods of time, this wattage is perfect because during normal operation a modern laptop will not typically demand more than 60W and so you can get away with one charger for multiple devices, and only one wall/powerstrip socket used.
I'be been using the charger so far for a couple of months. Overall, I think it's pretty good for the price.One thing to note regarding charging – it cannot provide >100W to a laptop because USB-C PD 3.0 is limited to 100W max. PD 3.1 increases it to 240W max, but most laptops don't seem to have that yet.
As usual, YMMV.
I bougfht 2 with just a few reviews a few months ago and they are both great.
