Best USB-C Laptop Chargers of 2026

Where the 735 spreads 65W across three ports, this one puts 100W down a single USB-C port and stops there. For a 16-inch MacBook Pro, an XPS 15, or a gaming laptop that won't charge properly at 65W, that's the right trade: you give up the phone port and get a brick that keeps the battery moving while you work.

We like that the 100W isn't conditional. With one port there's no arithmetic about how much the laptop gets once a phone is plugged in, and the USB-C cable that ships with it is rated for the full output, which the 735 above doesn't manage. Folded down it takes less room in a laptop sleeve than the adapter the machine came with, and of the two Ankers here it's the one that goes in a small bag.

Durability is the soft spot. Early failure turns up on this model more than on our top pick — a few months of daily use and then nothing — so the 18-month warranty is worth more here than it looks, and it's worth keeping the receipt somewhere you can find it. One port also means one device: the phone waits its turn, which is the whole design and the reason this is a second charger rather than your only one.

An XPS 15 or a Precision workstation is not a 65W laptop, and no clever charging design makes it one. Those machines expect 130W over USB-C, which is what this adapter supplies — 20V at 6.5A — with an LED in the connector so you can see it's live before you start hunting for the outlet behind the desk.

The part-number list is the useful part. DA130PM170, HA130PM170, 0K00F5, and 0M0H25 all appear, so if the label on your dead Dell adapter shows one of those, you're matching rather than guessing. The machine list is longer still: XPS 15 and 17 from the 9500 generation through the 9700s, Precision 5530 through 5770, and Latitude 5401 and up. It carries ETL, CE, and FCC marks, which is worth confirming on any third-party brick headed for a work laptop.

We treat it as a desk-and-dock charger rather than something that rides in a bag: one port, one job, a brick sized for a workstation. That's a fair trade for the buyer it's aimed at, because nothing smaller holds a Precision at full speed while it renders. If your laptop is a 65W machine, though, you're paying for headroom you'll never draw — the Anker 735 fits better and travels better.

HP's USB-C lineup is a tangle of model numbers, and this charger is aimed at the middle of it: Spectre x360 and x2, Envy, EliteBook x360, ProBook, ZBook, Dragonfly, OmniBook, and the Chromebook x360 line. The output matches the profile those machines expect — 20V at 3.25A — so it behaves like the brick that came in the box rather than like a generic fast charger that happens to fit the port.

The plug is a two-prong Type A, so there's no ground, which is normal for this class but worth knowing if you're replacing a three-prong original. It also runs hot: a plastic 65W brick at 8.6 ounces will, when the laptop is pulling everything it can. Neither is a fault exactly — the heat is what a compact brick does, and the two-prong plug is how most of them ship.

Fit and price are where it earns its keep. This is one of the least expensive ways to get a correct HP replacement, the connector seats firmly rather than wobbling, and it charges at the speed the original did. Lifespan is the risk you accept — early failures after a few months are the known knock on this model — so buy it with the return window and the one-year warranty in mind. If you want the brick you never think about again, the Anker 735 is the safer long-term buy; if you need an HP charger today, this does the job.

Forty-five watts decides this one. That's exactly what a Chromebook x360 or a 45W HP ultrabook draws, and it's the profile this adapter is built for — 20V at 2.25A, with the lower 5V, 9V, and 15V steps for a phone. Plug it into a 100W laptop and it will still charge, but slowly, and it will lose ground while you work.

For the school-and-spare role we think it's the obvious buy: it's the least expensive charger on this page, the fit is right for the Chromebooks it names, and the model list is unusually specific about which HP machines it covers. Nothing about the build is luxurious — plastic shell, one port, a cord that runs shorter than some people expect — but as a second charger that lives in a backpack, that's the right set of compromises.

It gets warm, which is what a small brick does under load, and it's a budget adapter, so a share of them quit within a year; if the machine is a school requirement, a spare is not a bad idea. Neither matters much when it sits on a desk charging a Chromebook overnight, which is the use it's best at.

The cable is why this one made the list. A 7.2-foot USB-C to USB-C cord comes in the box with a 100W brick, which solves the problem every hotel desk and conference table creates: the outlet is never where the laptop is. For a charger that stays put, that pairing is the best value here.

The rest is straightforward. One USB-C port at 20V and 5A, a one-year warranty, and a compatibility list that runs from MacBook Pro 14 and 16 through ThinkPad, IdeaPad, Yoga, and the usual HP, Dell, Acer, and Asus USB-C machines. It's the plainest charger on this page, and plain is fine when the job is keeping one laptop topped up on a desk.

One port is the limit: the laptop and the phone take turns, so this isn't the brick for a desk with three devices on it. And if you want 100W in something that folds into a sleeve, the Anker 317 is the smaller, more polished version of the same idea. This one is the desk brick with the long cord, and it's honest about that.
