The $17 Baseus 67W USB-C Charger Will Fast Charge the Most Powerful Gaming Handheld PCs

Uncategorized

From portable gaming handhelds to smartphones, our lives rely on portable, untethered electronics, and it can't hurt to always have a charger on hand. Fortunately, they don't have to be expensive. Case in point, Amazon is currently offering a Baseus Picogo 67W USB Type-C wall charger for just $16.99 after you apply coupon code "T9TLS56H". This diminutive adapter has plenty of ports and enough power output to fast charge most portable electronics.

The Baseus wall charger is very compact thanks to its use of gallium nitride (GaN) instead of the more common silicon for its semiconductor material. This makes the charger smaller, faster, and more energy-efficient than a traditional charger. The plug portion can also fold out of the way so that it doesn't get damaged during travel.

There are a total of three ports: two USB Type-C ports and one USB Type-A port each capable of 67W of power output. Note that the maximum output for all three ports is 67W as well, so if you used all three at time same time, you would pull about 22W per port. This throttling is actually a good thing; charging at 201W (67Wx3) would generate a ton of heat and you'd need a bigger, less portable enclosure to accommodate it.

The 67W power output per port is higher than what I typically see at this price point. It matches the charging output of the adapters that come packaged with even the most power hungry handheld gaming PCs like the Xbox Ally X, ROG Ally X, Legion Go S, and Legion Go 2. It can also easily charge the Steam Deck, which only takes 35W max. As for the Switch 2, you could charge three consoles simultaneously at their maximum rate (the Switch 2 only accepts about 20W max).

Amazon is also offering a Baseus 100W USB Type-C Charger for just $21.99 after you apply coupon code "F7BPDQ7D". The Baseus 100W charger has three total outputs: two USB Type-C ports and one USB Type-A port. Both USB-C ports can deliver up to 100W of Power Delivery (or 70W/30W when used simultaenously). The 100W power output per port is higher than what I typically see at this price point. It's more powerful than the adapter that comes packaged with the Xbox Ally X, ROG Ally X, Legion Go S, and Legion Go 2 and can charge them at a faster rate.
