Lenovo has put a new 150W USB-C GaN charger on sale in China, and it is aimed squarely at people who refuse to travel with a small bag full of bricks. The three-port MCFX150A3 can charge a laptop, phone, and another accessory at the same time, ships with a 7A 240W USB-C cable, and costs 339 yuan, or roughly €43, on JD.com.
The Lenovo 150W USB-C GaN charger is built for mixed-device setups: one charger, fewer compromises. That is exactly where GaN keeps winning over older silicon designs, because it lets companies push higher wattage without turning the adapter into a heat-soaked cube. Lenovo is also leaning on its own power profiles alongside PD 3.2, PPS, and QC 3.0, which makes the charger a better fit for mixed-device households than a one-brand accessory would be.
Lenovo MCFX150A3 design and size
The charger measures about 84 × 32.5 × 65 mm and weighs around 324 g, with the cable bringing the full package to roughly 500 g. Lenovo has kept the styling restrained: matte black and gray, plus a three-prong plug. That compact footprint matters here, because 150W chargers can get comically bulky fast, and this one is clearly meant to live in a backpack rather than monopolize a wall socket.
- Single-port output: up to 140W on C1 and C2, 65W on C3
- Dual-port output: 100W + 45W combinations
- Three-port output: 65W + 65W + 20W, up to 150W total
Charging support and safety certifications
Lenovo says the charger can intelligently split power depending on what is plugged in, which is the difference between a useful multi-port adapter and an overpriced argument. The top-end output should be enough for a Legion or ThinkPad laptop while still leaving room for a phone and a third device, and the unit also supports 100-240V input for international travel.
It also meets GB 4943.1-2022 safety requirements and carries CCC certification. That won’t make it glamorous, but it does make the charger far more plausible as a daily carry than some of the anonymous high-wattage adapters floating around online.
A useful charger for crowded desks and carry-on bags
The bigger story is not the wattage on the box. It is that laptop makers are slowly admitting that people own more than one serious device now, and charging needs have become messy enough to justify better hardware. Lenovo is not first to this idea, but a compact 150W adapter with a bundled cable and broad protocol support is a sensible answer to a very unsexy problem.
If Lenovo keeps the pricing tight, expect rivals like Anker, Baseus, and Ugreen to keep pushing harder in the same category. The market for premium USB-C chargers is getting crowded, and the winners will be the brands that make high output feel boringly reliable rather than vaguely suspicious.
