Lenovo has a new answer for anyone carrying a laptop charger, a phone charger, and a healthy amount of regret: a 150W Multi-Port USB-C GaN Charger that squeezes three USB-C ports into a compact body and ships with a 7A, 240W PD 3.2 cable. The model, MCFX150A3, is already on sale in China for 339 yuan, or about €43, and it is clearly aimed at the crowd that wants one adapter to handle a Legion or ThinkPad, plus a phone and a third gadget, without turning a backpack into a cable graveyard.

Lenovo’s 150W GaN charger also supports PD 3.2, PPS, QC 3.0, and Lenovo/Moto charging modes, so it should work with a wide range of devices beyond the company’s own laptops.

150W output across three USB-C ports

The headline numbers are the selling point. Lenovo says the first two ports can deliver up to 140W on their own, while the third tops out at 65W. When multiple devices are connected, the charger reallocates power depending on what is plugged in.

Available charging combinations include:

  • 100W + 45W on two ports
  • 65W + 65W + 20W across all three ports

That flexibility is the whole trick. A lot of chargers can claim high peak wattage, but fewer can do it without forcing users to guess which port matters most. Here, the output is designed to cover a laptop and smaller devices at the same time, which is exactly what frequent travelers and desk-bound multitaskers tend to need.

Compact enough for travel, serious enough for laptops

Physically, the charger measures about 84 × 32.5 × 65 mm and weighs around 324 g, with the full package at roughly 500 g. That is not pocketable, but for a 150W unit with three ports and a bundled high-spec cable, it is still very restrained. The matte black and gray shell, plus the three-prong plug, keeps the design boring in the best possible way.

Lenovo also says the charger meets GB 4943.1-2022 safety standards, carries CCC certification, and accepts 100-240V input. In plain English: it is built for modern power demands and should work beyond a single wall socket region, which is exactly the sort of unglamorous detail that makes these chargers useful instead of just impressive on paper.

Lenovo joins the multi-port GaN charger race

Lenovo is not alone here. Anker, Ugreen, and Baseus have spent the last few years pushing multi-port GaN chargers into higher wattage tiers, because the old model of shipping a separate brick for every device is dying a slow, deserved death. What Lenovo adds is brand familiarity for ThinkPad and Legion owners, plus output levels that make more sense for people who actually use those machines rather than just admire the spec sheet.

The bigger question is whether buyers will pay for convenience at this wattage. For 339 yuan, this looks like a practical upgrade rather than a luxury play, and that may be the smartest thing about it: no theatrics, just one charger that can handle the daily mess.
