You need a $20 adapter upgrade to fast-charge Apple's base model 14-inch MacBook Pro
Everyone will complain about it and everyone who complains about it will just drop another $20 for the better charger. They’re not going to just hand out every luxury item with their lowest tier Pro Book. Remember, you need a $19 polishing cloth to properly clean it.

Satechi GaN USB-C Wall Chargers: faster, better, cheaper
100% true. The only other charger I’ve seen that doesn’t drop to 5v is Hyper Power’s chargers. I’m interested in this line and will check one out soon.DangDave said:Another great feature of both of the two 3-port chargers in the article are that all of the ports are truly PD (Power Delivery) and therefore able to negotiate voltages other than 5V and therefore can all provide more than 15W with PD capable devices.https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1520/4366/files/66W_3-Port_GaN_Wall_Charger.pdf?v=1626884143
Many of the other portable multi-port chargers from various providers on Amazon, or wherever, say that they are PD, which they probably are, but as soon as you plug in a second cable or device, all of the ports revert to, or stay at 5V with a maximum of 15W or less, and they don’t always say so in the big or small print.

Fast charging the Apple Watch Series 7 requires 5W USB-C PD adapter or better
Sounds like a good project and article idea for AIdk49 said:If I plug it into my Macbook Pro's USB-C outlet, will it fast charge? My pro charges my iPhone much faster than the included 5W adapter.

Fast charging the Apple Watch Series 7 requires 5W USB-C PD adapter or better
They’re saying at least 5W PD adapter. You’ll see them soon now that there’ll be a market for them.Does anybody even make 5w USB-C PD charger? I know the article mentioned it, but I gave up looking after 5 minutes on Amazon.
