Review on πŸ”Œ SlimQ 65W GaN Charger - Dual Ports Wall Charger [USB C+USB A] - Compatible with MacBook Pro, iPhone 13/12/11/Pro Max, XS/XR/X, iPad Pro/Air, iPhone, Surface, Type C Laptop by Aaron Webb

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fast for some, less for some

This changer claims to be compact and it really is the most compact of the three 65w chargers I've had. Why is size, especially width and top clearance, important? That's because too many power supply designers don't care how much room their adapter takes up in the outlet! Too many take up space for two or three outlets. One of them is narrow enough to use a standard ICE connector on the left, right and top. Its ability to support both USB A and USB C simultaneously is a plus. However, in actual testing I was a bit disappointed, it doesn't seem to be going to change much faster on the iPad Pro 12.9-inch 2021, if at all. While this might not be the charger's fault since the iPad Pro isn't a PD device, I was hoping to see at least some improvement. As far as Android phones go, all my phones over the last few years will see this as fast or fast. Charger and speed are pretty good. For the price of the device I think it should come with at least one USB-C charging cable, if not both A and C charging cables, as the CC cable isn't exactly cheap and not all are compatible with 65W and higher changers.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Style 90
