One of the first brands that come to mind when it comes to gaming equipment, Razer introduced a product that appeals not only to gamers, but also to almost all consumers using a smartphone or a laptop: the charger. But as you can imagine, this is no ordinary charger; It also has a Razer logo and an astronomical price.
Razer’s new Gallium Nitride (GaN) charger has a very high output power of 130W. Moreover, it has two USB Type-C ports and two USB Type-A ports. Therefore, if you do not have a smartphone with 120W fast charging support, you can charge both your laptop and smartphone at the same time with Razer’s new charger.
It is important that Razer’s new charger is ‘GaN’. Because GaN chargers can provide high capacity power outputs with much more efficiency and less heating. Therefore, as we mentioned above, even if you charge your smartphone and laptop at the same time, Razer’s new charger will not ‘explode’ heat up.
So if the specs are that good, what makes the new Razer GaN charger such a controversial product? Price. Razer has announced a $180 price tag for the new Gallium Nitride charger. But the controversy isn’t just because the $180 price is too high. Alternative GaN chargers, which are less cool with the logo, but can provide 130W power output, can be found for almost half the price tag announced by Razer. Of course, the final decision always rests with the consumers.
