I have these and the problem is they don't do 65w which is the required power for many laptops.

It's a 60W charger. It's maximum output via one port is 60W, not 68W via a single port. Your device will not be able to pull more than 60W from it.

This may or may not be important to you depending on your use case! If it is not, no need to downvote. Your downvote won't make this a 68W charger! If you only need 20W, there are cheaper, lighter, smaller chargers for that.

Great deal for 65W super fast charging for my Samsung Flip6, I can charge it in 20-30 min empty to full. Have one and it's a beast. In for another one at this price.

The desc is a bit misleading...

Likely should be
- one port 60W,
- two ports (50W, 18W), this makes up the claimed 68W

Not (60W, 18W) as currently described.

I have the USB-A/USB-C version of this charger, and it looks like they just changed the USB-A port to USB-C and didn't reconfigure the second port to support any higher charging levels.

Like many have said, it doesn't output 68W on one port, but it doesn't claim to. It's a 60W charger that can also work at up to 50W while running up to 18W on the second port.

My laptops want 65W, but they will run and charge slowly with as little at a 20W charger, as long as it has at least 12V. 45W is typical. This charger works well for me, especially for an overnight charge. It can charge a laptop AND a phone simultaneously.

This charger doesn't support 12V, though that shouldn't matter for most. Laptops generally use 20V when available.

The specs:

USB-C2
5V 3A 15W
9V 2A 18W

USB-C1
5V 3A 15W
9V 3A 27W
15V 3A 45W
20V 2.5A 50W

If ONLY USB-C1 is used, it can output 20V 3A for 60W.

Interesting, I had to double check my 68w one with 1 x usb c and 1 x usb a, it chargers my work laptop perfectly fine. Passing through power to a dock too to do so.

I use a USB-C charging cable that has a power LED display that shows how many watts are being fed to the device it's connected to. Did you use one to show that it was feeding 65W and not something less? A laptop will charge with almost any number of watts, just slower. In other words I could plug in a 45W charger into a laptop that lcame with a 65W charger and it would show it's charging but will take longer.

Yah I didn't check, but with I used lower wattage chargers, the laptop will not charge or it says low power. So I just assumed as long as it works, didn't need fast charging when I WFH. I have the 100W one at the office.

20 to 30 minutes is a 2 to 2.5 C rate. That's really hard on batteries, especially if it's hot out. You'll experience a shorter lifespan of your battery. An extreme example, two years from now you only get half a day if you're getting a full day now.
