Is this best travel charger?

Not for this trip. But is this the best travel charger?

My current one is 100w and I use it just because it came with all the plugs. But have to take them off and on. Which is fine. But I'd like to get one I can just keep in my bag.

Is this best option? Dead cheap and all. Options? Don't really need the plug as everything I have is usb.

Buy the 100w version made by momax if you want 100w

Also they have multiple pd ports which that doesn’t have

I'm happy with the 65w.

I only really have my phone. And my surface book isn't 100w PD either. So 65w is fine.

Also. At 13 pounds it's so cheap. The 100w is 3.5x the cost.

It really is for the multiple PD ports that can charge both your phone and laptop at speed.
For me when travelling this can sometimes be essential.

Also which website is that for sale on?

Aliexpress.

Its very rare I'd need both.
65w is plenty for my phone and laptop. I think they max out at 65w combined anyway

Remember, you'll have to include tax and you can forget any returns or protection incase it's DOA or goes missing in the post.

Tax is added already at checkout now.
I order quite a lot from Ali.
Its 3x the price in the UK. So I could get through 3 and still break even.

I now have 3 travel adaptors.

A plain old school one.
A 30w PD one.
65 GaN one now.

Not having to bring laptop plug, phone and camera charger is nice. Save perhaps 500g altogether.

I like that this small box can cover everything I need.

Also. I can just put this in my travel bag and so not have to worry about packing it. At 13 pounds it's a bargain

Mines arrived too.
It charges my phone at super fast speed. Not tried with laptop.

As long as it can charge my phone and laptop that's all I need. Most of the time I'll be charging my phone, power bank.

Also. The usb-a is useful for my. Braun electric toothbrush

I use a desktop multiport charger that has a figure of 8 mains lead socket, I then just take the correct lead with me and have it sit on a table for everyone to use.

My Old one had the 3 plugs you slot on. But I didn't like having to swap them out. And I use it at home. I know what I'm like. I could. Easily forget to bring it!

I got this one earlier in the year as needed 65W for my Dell laptop, was £70 at the time, but have found the cheaper chargers are always a bit fast and loose in their descriptions quality.

Things like saying "65W!" but then you read into it more and it's 65W maximum across 7 different ports

Looks like the same as the Ali express one with a different she'll and price uplift.

Which is very common in amazon now
