I bought this for $10 last yr:

Effect of inflation, I guess.
Also for time machine jokes ... I am just sharing info, not asking to wait/not buy for someone who thinks it's a good deal.
Not the same charger. Woot also had usb c / usb a version for $10 two months back.

When it's 68W, does this mean it cannot charge 65W like ThinkPad ? What about charging cellphones?

It will do 60W on single port charging. It will charge a 65W laptop but you'll get a notification saying charger is not optimized

OK thanks, its hard to keep track of all these wattage and other information on chargers because more and more have different specs and sometimes one won't charge your phone at fastest speed because it won't support the wattage at the required Amp. Something about chargers charging only certain watts and not automatically adjust to what decide needs. I forgot what they are called.

I have a 65W Thinkpad T14 Gen 1 running Fedora and I charge it with the 60W port on this charger and it seems to run fine. Maybe it's an issue with the OS (non-Windows) but I don't get a "not optimized" warning like another comment suggested.

When I charge it with the 18W port, however, I *do* get a notice saying it's charging at low power.

Thanks, I use my son's chromebook thinkpad sometimes, it's 45W, my thinkpad seems to be happy with that, anything lower is probably too low. I don't know the consumption of T14, though.

I don't understand use one of these on phones? Not going to change any faster than most cheaper ones.
