For those who are unfamiliar, GaN stands for gallium nitride and it is a relatively new technology that’s been slowly adopted over the past couple of years. What makes GaN chargers different from regular chargers is that it uses less components compared to regular silicon-based chargers, which in turn helps it become smaller, which is perfect for laptop chargers that usually come with a massive charging brick.
GaN chargers are also said to be more efficient in terms of heat management, which allows them to stay cool and are also potentially safer from problems like overheating. Given that this is a 60W charger, it will be capable of putting out enough energy to charge larger devices like laptops and tablets.
However, it will also be capable of charging mobile devices like the iPhone, which might benefit from the extra power to help it fast charge. The Belkin Boost Charge Pro GaN charger is priced at $50 and can be purchased via Belkin’s website.
