This allows manufacturers to pack the components of the charger into a smaller packaging without risking a component meltdown, literally. Gallium Nitride on the other hand is a lot more efficient and generates less heat.

This is why your power adapters gets a little toasty when its charging your devices. Most power adapters uses silicon-based components which generates a pretty large amount of heat. And this exactly describes the Baseus 65W GaN USB-C charger!

The ideal charger then is one that has combination of USB-C and USB-A ports on a single charger block that has the power plug point embedded within the block, like Apple’s power adapters. However, you can see that while there is less bulk, you do have to deal with the cabling of the charger which sometimes can be bulky as well. One option is to get a multi-port desktop chargers, such as the Anker PowerPort charger, which I use at my home. This is to ensure I have to ability to charge any other non-USB-C devices, such as my Apple Watch. As the iPad Pro and iPhone 11 Pro shares the same type of charger, I instead carry the iPhone USB-A adapter. However, all 3 of them very quickly add to the weight and bulk of my backpack.

These adapters are individually small and portable. Each of these have their own power adapters. I have 3 main devices that I use on a daily basis an iPhone 11 Pro, 11″ iPad Pro and a MacBook Pro 13″.
