Not an earth-shattering low price, but otherwise a reasonable price and configuration. No support for Programmable Power Supply (PPS). The USB-C 1 port maxes out at 18W, and any time USB-C 1 is being used the USB-C 2 port is limited from 60W max down to 50W max (which only actually impacts the 20V profile typically used for laptops).

Output one port (USB-C 2):
  • 5V 3A
  • 9V 3A
  • 15V 3A
  • 20V 3A
Output dual ports:
  • USB-C 1 Port:
    • 5V 3A
    • 9V 3A
  • USB-C 2 Port
    • 5V 3A
    • 9V 3A
    • 15V 3A
    • 20V 2.5A
This could be a very serviceable option for users with, for example, an iPhone and a Macbook and/or iPad.

Good luck!
Jon

Depending upon the model and your use case the answer is a solid maybe. This is charger ismore than enough for non-Pro models including the MacBook Air, which are typically paired with 30W chargers and charge faster at modes up to 67W.

However, this could still be a suitable option for MacBook Pro models assuming your usage doesn't exceed the ability of charger to maintain a charge. Plenty of users don't carry around the maximum charger size possible because they're usage allows them to get by with lower power options.

Good luck!

Even with just one device plugged in, port 2 only provides up to 60w max?

I snagged the 65 watter for $15 about 2 weeks ago while it was on sale. I can say the build quality is top tier. I just recently acquired a Lenovo 65w GAN charger and I can say I overpaid ($42 ex tax) relative to the AMZN Basics one. Latter is much more compact and works just as well. UL listing is a requirement for me and AMZN meet that check box. Would say a 100w is way more optimal than a 68w one as others have pointed out.
