With its most recent product launch, Lenovo has found a way to circumvent the large size of power adapters for gaming laptops. The ‘C140 GaN’ charger delivers a high-performance power output of up to 140W, 80% of the performance of ordinary adapters, and weighs 270g. Although gaming laptops need a lot of power to function, Lenovo's ‘C140 GaN’ charger is compact and provides excellent performance when used to power these laptops.
The charger has a pre-order price of 269 yuan (about $39 USD) and will initially sell for 199 yuan (about $29 USD). It is compatible with the Lenovo Legion series gaming notebooks and also supports PD3.1, QC3.0, PPS3.0, and more. The charger will be on sale on April 7.
