Lenovo has put a new 150W USB-C GaN charger on sale in China, and the pitch is simple: carry one brick instead of three. The MCFX150A3 squeezes three USB-C ports, GaN power delivery, and a bundled 240W cable into a compact body that targets laptops as much as phones and tablets.
At 339 yuan, or roughly €43, it lands in the same broad category as other high-wattage multi-port chargers from Anker, Ugreen, and Baseus, but Lenovo’s version leans into its own laptop ecosystem. That matters because the real audience here is the person who wants to top up a ThinkPad, a Legion machine, and a phone without hauling a bag full of adapters.
Lenovo MCFX150A3 specs and charging output
- Three USB-C ports
- Up to 150W total output
- Up to 140W on C1 and C2, 65W on C3
- 100W + 45W with two devices connected
- 65W + 65W + 20W with three devices connected
- Supports PD 3.2, PPS, QC 3.0, and Lenovo/Moto charging protocols
The bundled cable is a nice touch rather than a marketing flourish. Lenovo includes a 7A 240W PD 3.2 cable, which makes the charger far more useful out of the box than the usual ”buy your own cable” routine that premium accessories brands love so much.
Compact size, GaN hardware, and travel-friendly design
The charger measures about 84 × 32.5 × 65 mm and weighs around 324g, with the full package coming in at roughly 500g. That is still a chunk of hardware, but GaN keeps the footprint far below the old-school silicon bricks that used to dominate high-wattage charging. Lenovo has gone with a matte black and gray finish and a three-prong plug, while the 100-240V input makes it suitable for international travel.
Safety credentials are also part of the pitch: the adapter meets GB 4943.1-2022 standards and carries CCC certification. In practice, the useful bit is simpler – it is meant to split power across connected devices, so a laptop and phone can charge together without forcing you to babysit the setup.
A tidy fit for Lenovo laptop users
This is the kind of product that makes sense because modern charging habits are messy. Most people now juggle a laptop, a phone, earbuds, maybe a tablet, and charger fatigue is real. Lenovo is betting that a single 150W brick with familiar protocols and enough headroom for a Legion or ThinkPad will look better than the drawer full of mismatched adapters already collecting dust.
It is now listed on major Chinese retail platforms, and if Lenovo keeps the price where it is, the bigger question is whether this becomes a niche accessory for laptop owners or the sort of universal charger that quietly replaces half the stuff in your backpack.
