Some of the lower-power/performance laptops come with 45W chargers so 15V/3A is perfect, but many more laptops come with 65W chargers and it's too bad this charger doesn't do 65W on USB-C only. It will charge the laptop though, just slower and if plugged in while using the laptop may force Windows to use a very low performance setting.
Totally. The whole point of a 65W charger is to charge a laptop, not phones.

Woot is the merchant, so that's confusing! The products being sold by Woot are the same products being sold by Amazon, and they're shipped by Amazon.
Woot is owned by Amazon. This type of deal is essentially just the clearance sale function for Amazon.

The merchant needs to be right on SD in case people have memberships or whatever, though in this case Prime free shipping applies at Woot. It may not be 1:1 however, thinking of next day/same day shipping on since items in some areas.

Which specific items are you referring to? I've made very few purchases from them, but each time, the items were supplied directly from an Amazon fulfillment center, so who's really at fault? Woot, Amazon or crappy products?
all chinese noname products are fulfilled directly from amazoncenter. so what are you referring to?

Feel free to steal this idea Anker or someone who wants to kickstart it. A 200watt power supply with modular plug attachments. Pick and choose your output ports.Choose between a/c, usb-c, usb a. Give it decent cord length but keep it small for travel. No massive wall wart that wont stay in worn out wall receptacles.

There are still newer Chromebooks that would work with 45w if all you want is something for surfing and 8gb right? I have an older one with a broken hinge that I know will work but not sure that it's worth having a backup for and might as well think toward the future a bit.

I suppose that means you're very satisfied with these chargers? I'm just curious about how you're using them and how long you've had them? I received it today. Haven't tested it yet.

It will actually do 20V/3A (60W) when the USB-C port is used by itself.

60W isn't 65W. A laptop that comes with a 65W will complain and will likely switch to a lower performance level. I've experienced it myself.
