Choosing a GaN charger for travel

A short guide to picking a charger that stays small but still powers everything you carry.

Choosing a GaN charger for travel

What you pack changes from trip to trip. If it is a laptop, a phone, and earbuds, the total power you need can reach 65W.

Why GaN?

Gallium Nitride (GaN) lets an adapter be 40-50% smaller than conventional silicon, while handling heat better.

For everyday travel, 30-45W is plenty. If you often work from cafes and co-working spaces, a 65W dual-port is more flexible.

Carry the adapter your day actually needs — not the biggest one.

Think about cable length too: in hotels and cafes, a 1.5-2 meter cable gives you far more room to work with.
