Lenovo, a Chinese tech company, has unveiled a new charging brick in China, the ThinkPlus 65W GaN charger with the price tag of CNY 99, or roughly $14.
It has a small form factor, yet it includes three charging connections, two of which are USB Type-C. It is pocket-sized, measuring 31x39x63 mm, and is roughly the size of a lipstick, the company confirmed.
However, with its small size, the charging brick is capable of powering three devices at once. It has three ports, one of which is Type-A and the others are Type-C.
This Gallium Nitride (GaN) charging brick's two USB Type-C connections can offer up to 65 watts of power each, but the Type-A port can only deliver 22.5 watts. When three of them are used simultaneously, the Type-C ports provide a total of 40 watts of electricity, while the Type-A ports provide 20 watts.

Lenovo's new ThinkPlus 65W GaN charger includes eight levels of safety measure to ensure safe and worry-free charging. This covers over-current, over-voltage, short circuit, severe temperature, and over-power protection.
Regarding compatibility, the new Lenovo ThinkPlus charger supports a variety of protocols. Among them are PPS, QC3, and PD3. This implies that the users can use the charging brick to charge almost anything, including laptops like the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 and the MacBook Air M1 and M2.
The company has yet to provide specifics about the worldwide launch and price, however, if the users are looking for something comparable, try out the Anker 735 Nano II (now $39.99 on Amazon).
