As USB-C approaches a universal standard for both connectivity and charging, we continue to see devices hitting the market that use USB-C for charging. Including many of today’s latest laptop models. However, some of these devices (especially laptops) require a lot of power to charge properly, so not all USB wall adapters are the same.This is where the adapter looks like HyperJuice 140W USB-C Charger Come to play,
This is an AC adapter that can power your device up to 140W. Fully meets the charging requirements of most laptops on the market today (supports USB-C or TB3/4 charging). Not just the typical MacBook or MacBook Pro, but also “some” of the most demanding game models.
Not only that, it offers multiple ports for multiple devices that can be used to charge multiple devices. In some cases, we tested against a number of laptop models. Includes some Dell Inspiron models that require 65W charging, Dell XPS that requires 130W charging, and Alienware gaming models that are close to the XPS model’s requirements.
All fully charged using this adapter. Of course, there are still models (Alienware has a lot of them) that require a little more than this, but they fall into a rare category when compared to what the average person or power user uses. are classified.
As mentioned, it has a maximum output of 140W, but this can be achieved in various ways. If you prefer, you can connect your laptop to the 140W USB-C port. Alternatively, you can choose to use the 100W port if your laptop requires less. Then you can also plug it into a USB (USB-A) port to charge your phone or other device. Your laptop may not fully charge unless you exceed 140W in combination.
It also supports PD 3.1, PD 3.0, QC 3.0 and PPS protocols. It can be used to quickly charge your favorite device.
The wall adapter comes with a US standard plug so you can store it safely without worrying about putting pressure on the plug part of the adapter. This is common to many of these larger adapters.
If you’re using this in the US, you don’t need anything other than the cables that come with it.
It can be adapted to work with EU, UK, or AU standards. Allows you to use this wall adapter almost anywhere in the world (if you travel with it). These adapters can be slid directly into (and removed from) the unit and easily adjusted to your needs.
The included USB-C to USB-C cable can deliver up to 240W of power, making it suitable for both this adapter as well as more powerful adapters and docking solutions. So 140W doesn’t drain at all.
The cable is 2 meters long, perfect for any device you want to connect. It is equivalent to the cable length of a normal AC charger.
performance
As you pointed out, I’ve set this up for a number of laptops with requirements ranging from 65W to 130W. The 65W model can charge smartphones simultaneously due to the output balance between ports.
The adapter is a bit heavy, so I rarely use it by plugging it directly into the wall. We recommend using a power strip to avoid falling under the weight.
It never got too hot (compared to other wall adapters).
our conclusion
This adapter seems to meet our expectations. It’s powerful and flexible, making it the perfect travel companion for those who carry multiple devices looking to keep their overall footprint small. Finding a USB-C solution for the XPS model we tested with this isn’t easy due to the amount of power it requires.
Again, it’s a bit heavy, which may limit its use to power strips and other scenarios where the plug faces down and not perpendicular to the wall. It’s also just a wall adapter, so it’s a bit pricey. It’s nice to see these adapters drop in price to be more universally affordable for consumers. Instead, companies aim to compare them to the cost of regular AC laptop adapters. It seems that.
