YMMV but the Lenovo Legion 95 watt adapter was $24.95 for me BF weekend w f/s. I applied for a Lenovo I.D. and signed up for text and email. When the code would not work I called sales and they sent a lower price quote that I clicked on to order. No worry for me on only having one Type C output, see below.

See the review of the one I received below.

This beats any other deal for 95 watt USB C-PD 3.0 power supply and you get a far superior product. Performance-wise that's up to 95 watts of safe clean continuous reliable power from a reputable brand, U.L. listed, with a hassle-free one year free replacement warranty. Aesthetically the design is attractive with its smooth finish rounded edges and a pod foot for standing compared to your run of the mill boring square brick.

IDKW pp risk connecting expensive equipment to ultra compact charging blocks which do not output the claimed power or if they do it is only briefly. Worse they run very hot,burn out or malfunction in days or months. Refer to tests which show low quality dirty power on many.

Multi-port Type C PD chargers aren't ready for prime time. Reliability performance and durability are issues for most especially for the subcompact blocks.

Legion DC output : Max 95W 20V 4.75A, 15V 3A, 9V 3A, 5V 3A USB 3.0 PD , world-wide ac compatibility just change the input power cord or use any cheap travel plug. Note: no 12 volt PO Some power banks require 12 v @3 amps or better for super fast charging if a few extra minutes is important.

Phone charging: Most laptops have pass through charging on a Type A port and some have it on a second Type C port so there is no need for an extra port to charge a phone. One can also connect the Lenovo to a multi-port adapter or docking station.

No PPS for phones on the Lenovo but my Android charges plenty fast with pass through on the laptop. When I upgrade to a PPS phone want a Samsung super fast charger anyway because unlike the other charging blocks it is backwards compatible to AFC, QC and legacy devices. If there is a good multi-port which is optimized for both PPS and Legacy and QC 5 then I haven't found it.

Lenovo also has their 45 watt USB C ac adapter at 50% off with free shipping for $24.95 but the Legion 95 is a far beter deal. Lenovo USB-C 45W Standard AC Adapter
Part Number: GX20N20876 https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/ac...gx20n20876
50% off $24.95

edit: I purchased the BaseUS 100 watt on the $33 deal less than a month ago for my Acer Spin 713 Chromebook that requires 45 watts. The thick stiff power cord is a deal breaker. The Lenovo is actually smaller and lighter minus the ac power cord but with a much nicer longer DC power cord. Baseus USB Type A ports do not have QC so, like nearly every other multi-port charging station slow charging on the A port and not good for battery health on my S10+ or legacy USB devices.

I've updated the deal to indicate that $24.99 is possible even if highly YMMV.

I invested quite a bit of time researching the function performance and durability of multi-port GaN adapters. None seem to exist which are fully compatible with all phones. Few if any support legacy or QC USB devices. They have other issues as well.

I've lost two motherboards to supposedly reputable aftermarket adapters. GaN sub-compact adapters are nice for travel but the phone might experience battery wear from sub-optimal charging. For example S10 accepts Power Delivery but it causes battery wear. I will charge a PPS phone by itself or just use a dedicated clock for it. Many phones can charge safely off the laptop port. Read the reviews for how well a specific phone or device is supported by a particular GaN adapter especially if both charger ports will be in use..

For Galaxy older than S22 the Samsung super fast chargers are universally backwards compatible for preserving battery life. But a 20 watt Qualcomm QC charger for $5 works just as well on legacy phones and devices and has the same 18 watt charging speed. Qualcomm makes the Snapdragon phone chips in Android.

Phone charging: Most laptops have pass through charging on a Type A port and some have it on a second Type C port. I'm getting slow charging from the Acer but it's not super-slow. 40 to 80% in about an hour with a good cable. One can also connect the Lenovo to a multi-port adapter or docking station.

PPS phones: No PPS on the Lenovo. But when I upgrade to a PPS phone I will get a Samsung super fast charger because unlike the other charging blocks it is backwards compatible to AFC, QC and legacy devices.

edit: I purchased the BaseUS 100 watt on the $33 deal less than a month ago for my Acer Spin 713 Chromebook that requires 45 watts. It's already causing shutdown and freezing on the C.B. It's USB Type A ports do not have QC so, like nearly every other multi-port charging station not good for battery health on my S10+ or legacy USB devices.

The form factor of the Baseus 100 watt 4 port PD GaN3 home Charging Station is appealing but w/o QC the Type A ports have limited use. It does not seem capable of PPS output while also charging a laptop on C1.



Could you please elaborate how I should apply for a Lenovo I.D. and sign up for text and email? I would like to reproduce your results. Or, if I chat with them, is there a coupon code that I can reference?

Apply for it on-line at their site. It's free. I'd use a Google Voice phone number so that you can block the multitude of spam texts. Use a throw away email too. Getting them to apply the extra $10 off is highly YMMV. It depends on whether you call gets routed top a premium care agent or not and they still have to get it approved. That's a lot of work for $10.

Another deal came up for $17 with free shipping for the 65 watt Samsung Trio home wall charger with PPS and universal compatibility. Better for sure if you need to charge Samsung or Apple phones precisely. Also has Type A port with fast charge QC.

Call Lenovo or refer to its website. It is a universal USB 3.0 Type C PD 95 power supply rated at 95 watts continuous.

MY REVIEW

Just buy it, you will not regret it. Best choice for Chromebook, tablet and other USB PD devices requiring 1 to 95 watts continuous clean power.

Arrived today well packed. Clearly of superior quality as expected from their Legion product line. Fits in my palm. Best choice by far imo opinion for replacing the power adapter for any, Chromebook, small laptop, tablet or USB C PD device which requires 1 to 95 watts of continuous power. Easily worth the $35 sale price. Should give years of reliable service with zero concerns of damaging your devices.

Aesthetics and size: With the ac cord detached it takes up much less room than the unwieldy Baseus 100 w snake which it is replacing. Rounded edges, a recess to conceal the cord strain relief and a slight pod foot to allow it stand on edge to take up less desk space make for a deluxe functional appearance. A few extra grams over a GaN wall wart mean nothing where performance and reliability are more important. No need to carry an extension cord either.

PERFORMANCE: I fast charged the Android, then a battery bank, then my Acer Spin 713 quad HD 45 watt Chromebook from 5% ( meter showed 1 hr to full ). It barely got warm to the touch after charging all three in a row. But more importantly it did not heat the Chromebook battery all during a full charge. YES! and a first.

It did not heat the phone or the Zendure power bank by much either. No regrets at all for choosing this over a GaN wall adapter or the 100 watt Baseus 4 port snake. It's thinner and only about an inch longer. The detachable ac cord makes it easier to transport.

Safety marked, certified energy efficient grade 6. Serial numbered.

DC Cord: 63" The USB C power cord looks like it is replaceable too. It appears to plug in to a recess in the block. edit: this may just be the cord stain relief recessed to give a clean look to the adapter. It is a heavy duty yet flexible cord with a high grade tip that fits snug should stay tight and yield excellent service for a very long time.

AC Cord: 39" universal 3 round pin C5 "mickey mouse" heavy duty flat power cord so you can replace it with whatever length you need or leave extra cords in place at the office or wherever needed and only carry the adapter. I use a lighter more flexible cord for travel or just a tiny C5 to flat lamp cord adapter so that any standard un-grounded extension cord can be used in a pinch. Grounded because this is a well shielded adapter which prevents RF interference and noise. High frequency laptop power adapters which are not grounded were never a good idea.

This is a huge upgrade to the o.e.m. supplied Chromebook and tablet adapters which never last more than a few months. It's time for USB PD powered device manufacturers to follow the model of phones and to stop shipping trashy adapters destined to quickly end up in the waste stream.

Adaptive charging was activated, a feature in the last Chrome OS update. It can be turned off in settings but keeps the battery at 80% to extend overall battery health. OS tracks your use and will "fully charge before you typically disconnect from power," like when you leave for the day.
