The company Lenovo ThinkPlus has launched a new desktop charging station, the Fengxingzhe GaN 150W, in China, priced at 599 yuan (approximately $86). This device combines the functions of several power adapters and a surge protector, allowing simultaneous connection of up to seven devices-desktop PCs, laptops, smartphones, and accessories.
Equipped with three AC outlets, three USB-C ports, and one USB-A port, the station supports up to 2500W on the AC outlets, and the combined power of USB outputs reaches 150W. One USB-C port delivers up to 140W for high-performance laptops and MacBooks, while the other two supply up to 45W each, and the USB-A provides 30W. The device supports fast-charging standards such as PD 3.2, PPS, QC 3.0, AFC, and FCP.
The Lenovo ThinkPlus GaN 150W employs next-generation processors for high energy efficiency and low heat dissipation. Integrated safety systems protect against overheating, short circuits, overvoltage, and power surges. Dynamic power distribution intelligently adjusts output for all connected devices.
In the current market, the transition towards GaN (Gallium Nitride) technology has been significant, offering increased efficiency in a compact form. GaN technology allows more power capacity and rapid charging without compromising safety, which aligns with recent advancements seen in competitor products. Lenovo’s approach with a multifunctional, multi-port device fits well within trends of reducing clutter while maintaining robust power capabilities, appealing to tech-savvy consumers and professionals alike.
