For our most recent update, we tested five 30-watt chargers to find a smaller alternative that can still charge the MacBook Air and some Chromebooks at their highest speeds. We also tested 60-watt and 87-to-100-watt chargers, which are capable of charging more powerful computers faster. Anything lower than that will still charge these devices, but won’t do so at the maximum rate. USB-C ports with 30-watt or higher output: Since many laptops charge at 45 watts or higher, that’s the minimum we initially considered for the chargers we tested.Port 1: 60 W USB-C Dimensions: 1.97 by 1.97 by 1.2 inches USB-C cable: 6.5 feet, detachable If the Nekteck’s price rises above $30, though, we recommend you consider the non-certified ZMI model.

This certification is the biggest difference between the Nekteck and the ZMI zPower Turbo 65W, our runner-up pick. This charger, like most of Nekteck’s products, is USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) certified, which means an independent third party has tested it and ensured it meets performance and safety specifications. The Nekteck is also smaller than just about any other 60- or 65-watt charger we’ve found and comes with a detachable cable, which is something that usually costs $10 to $20 on its own.

It will charge almost any USB-C laptop at full speed, and it will fast-charge lower-powered laptops, tablets, and most modern smartphones, as well.

Whether you need to replace your original charger or just want to have an extra at home or the office, you should get the Nekteck 60W USB-C GaN Charger.
