Amazon Basics 65W One-Port GaN USB-C Wall Charger with Power Delivery PD, Foldable Plug, for Laptops, Tablets & Phones, Black

This Amazon Basics 68W GaN charger has been a great everyday charger for both my laptop and phone. It’s noticeably smaller than traditional chargers but still delivers strong, consistent power. The dual USB-C ports are very convenient- I can charge my laptop on the 60W port while simultaneously charging my phone or earbuds on the second port without any issues. Charging speeds are exactly as advertised, and it supports USB-C Power Delivery properly. If you’re looking for a reliable, no-frills GaN charger that can handle a laptop and a second device at the same time, this is a great value for the price. It does exactly what it promises.

We use the Tripp-Lite version (model U280-W04-100C2G) at work. When I found this identical charger under Amazon Basics, I compared specs and found it is the same unit at a better price (the Tripp-Lite was usually found at over $100.) The Tripp-Lite handles all my charging at work, which gave me the confidence to try this one. At home, the Amazon Basics 100W four port charger is used to charge all our devices including our MacBooks, an iPad Pro, iPhones, portable power banks and other devices - sometimes all four ports are in use. It has made all my older chargers obsolete. USB PD (Power Delivery) is a game changer; be sure to read up about it (see below.) This charger follows the USB PD Rev. 2.0 source profiles for USB-C. It does not do PPS (Programmable Power Supply) charging under USB PD Rev. 3 and up; it is a new protocol that not many devices use, at least not yet. Both chargers display several agency markings including FCC and UL. The UL certification for this charger is listed under E472287 for model B087MDYP24 as found online. Beware of using electrical appliances that are not UL listed, there's a lot of them out there. Keep in mind that claiming 'conforms to UL standards' doesn't count; that means it hasn't passed UL safety standards. So far, this one is a winner. No problems after several months of use, UL listed, compact size, powerful, multiple ports and a decent price. I recommend getting the 100W four port version because it works for many charging needs. I'll add updates with use. Some tips: • I've never had a problem with this coming loose from an electrical outlet. If this doesn't stay plugged in to your outlet, the problem might be with the outlet. Loose electrical outlets are a fire hazard! • USB-C Power Delivery is variable: - The device being charged negotiates what voltage and current the charger is to deliver. If the device is not capable of this negotiation, the charger will default to the older USB-A power standard. - Not all devices will be able to use the full 100W capacity of this charger. Our MacBooks can; our iPhones, iPads, and others like our portable power banks can not. - The power delivered depends on the connecting cable. Low quality cables can charge but not at the higher power this charger is capable of. For best results use a good quality cable. - The more a battery charges up, the less power it will draw. If you want to see a charger's best performance, start with a battery with a low state of charge. - Some devices such as my Apple Watch draw less power during charging when the display is active. Once the display turns off, the charge rate increases. Go figure. Updates March 9, 2023: 9 months along and no problems to report with this wall charger. It charges all our devices even with all four ports in use. We're now using it with a MacBook Air M1 & iPad Pro - both get charged quickly with no overheating. This still gets a strong recommendation. June 25, 2023: One year of use and this is my go-to charger. I still rate it five stars and I don't give out five stars easily. September 11, 2024: Two years along and this is still my go-to charger. It works great with our new MacBook Air M3 with the MagSafe 3 charging cable, charging at 100W as reported under System Information. It's an even better deal now that Amazon has reduced the price. Still recommended. :) June 25, 2025: Three years of steady use with no problems to report. One aspect I haven't tested is the input voltage as I've only ever used 120VAC - the charger label states 100-240VAC. This should be capable of use traveling abroad with only a simple adapter. I hope you find this helpful.

Excellent GaN charger. I replaced my OEM Framework 13 charger for a fraction of the price and still get full performance under load. It’s compact, well designed, great for travel, and the black finish looks sharp. I’m using it with an Anker 100W cable and it also powers my Pinecil soldering iron without issue. Highly recommended for Framework 13 owners or anyone needing a reliable 65W USB-C charger.

Great quality charger, better quality than oem Apple charger. I bought with 6 foot cords, so the length of the cords and the power of charging is perfect for my bedside table. The color light that shows when you turn it on is great for knowing you’re charging. With the battery life on the new phones, I can leave it next to my bed all the time, but due to the size of the block, when I have to travel, it fits perfect into my bag with the cord wrapped around it, making it perfect. There seems to be some surge protection, because when you kill power it keeps charging for much longer than most blocks, which makes me feel better if a surge happens it won’t damage my phone. I bought 3 and wish I bought 6 so the whole family has one.

It works well, and even charges MacBooks, which many third-party chargers can't. However, the positioning and design of the AC outlet prongs make it a PITA at times. They are very loose even in brand-new outlets (literally a new outlet straight out of the box is loose on it). I think they either made the prongs out of too thin of material, or spaced them slightly wrong. This won't work well if you're needing it to remain installed in a wall outlet, but it's fine on a sideways power strip so the charger brick is resting on the floor (see photo)

I purchased the Amazon Basics 100W Four-Port GaN Wall Charger to charge my Surface Pro, as my previous chargers just weren't up to the task. I’ve had issues with other chargers not providing enough power or failing to charge my device properly, but this one has been a game-changer. The 100W power delivery is more than sufficient to charge my Surface Pro quickly and efficiently. I was initially concerned because I’ve had trouble finding chargers that can handle the power needs of my Surface, but this one works flawlessly. It provides a steady and reliable charge, even when I'm using my laptop while it's plugged in, which was a huge issue with my previous chargers. One of the features I love most about this charger is the multiple port options. It has 2 USB-C ports (100W and 18W) and 2 USB-A ports (12W), so I can charge several devices at once—whether it's my Surface Pro, phone, tablet, or other accessories. The USB-C ports are especially helpful for my other devices, and the 18W USB-A port is perfect for my phone. This flexibility makes it a perfect charging hub for my desk or when I'm traveling, eliminating the need to carry multiple chargers. The GaN technology is a big plus here. It allows the charger to be compact and efficient while still delivering all the power I need. Despite having four ports, the charger remains relatively small, making it easy to carry in a bag or travel with. It doesn’t overheat, and it charges my devices quickly without any issues. Another thing to note is the build quality—the charger feels solid and well-built, and the cables fit securely into the ports without feeling loose. I appreciate that it’s from Amazon Basics, as I’ve always found their products to be reliable and well-priced, and this charger is no exception. Overall, I am extremely happy with the Amazon Basics 100W Four-Port GaN Wall Charger. It charges my Surface Pro and multiple other devices effortlessly, and the ability to use several ports at once is incredibly convenient. If you’re looking for a reliable, fast, and multi-functional charger that can handle a variety of devices, I highly recommend this one. It’s definitely a must-have for anyone with multiple gadgets!

Looks like a more expensive option. Works just as well, no issues. Great for travel, great power options for rapid charging.

I really like this charger, ended up buying two of them. It charges my laptop, tablet, galaxy buds and galaxy watch. Great for travel. One thing, though. When plugged into my Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 tablet (and nothing else plugged in, either), despite the 100w rating, my tablet will only "Fast Charge" and not "Super Fast Charge". Similary for my laptop, but I expected that. As a result, while on a zoom/webex meeting, I will end up losing somewhere between 5-10% every 30 mins or so (charge will not go up). I'm not sure why this is but it is disappointing. Still, 4/5 for convenience.
