Introduction

The CMF Power 65W 3 Ports GaN Charger (A10800008) promises fast and efficient charging in a compact package. I’ve been using this charger for several weeks now, putting it through its paces with various devices, from smartphones to laptops. This review will delve into its performance, features, and overall value proposition.

Features

The A10800008 boasts a sleek dark grey design that complements modern tech aesthetics. Its compact size is a major plus, making it ideal for travel. The three ports – a combination of USB-C and USB-A – allow for simultaneous charging of multiple devices. The GaN technology is supposed to deliver faster charging speeds while reducing heat generation. The build quality feels robust, with no signs of cheap materials.

Performance

I tested the charger with a variety of devices, including my MacBook Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, and iPad Pro. Charging speeds were generally impressive. My MacBook Pro charged at the advertised speed, and my iPhone 13 Pro Max topped up noticeably faster than with my older charger. I also appreciated the ability to charge multiple devices simultaneously without any noticeable reduction in charging speeds. The charger remained relatively cool even during extended use, testament to the effectiveness of its GaN technology. In rare instances with simultaneous high-power draws from multiple ports, I noticed a slight warming.

However, I did find that achieving the maximum 65W output required specific cable combinations, something that wasn’t immediately apparent in the documentation. Experimentation was needed to find the optimal setup for maximum speed.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Compact size, fast charging speeds, multiple ports, robust build, relatively cool operation
• Cons: Optimal cable combinations required for maximum power output, documentation could be more comprehensive.

Final Verdict

The CMF Power 65W 3 Ports GaN Charger (A10800008) is a solid performer, offering fast and efficient charging in a convenient package. While the documentation could benefit from greater clarity on achieving maximum output, its overall performance and compact design make it a worthwhile purchase for users who need a versatile and powerful charger. I would recommend this charger to those who regularly charge multiple devices and appreciate a compact and efficient charging solution.
