In today’s world of multiple devices, having a reliable and efficient charging solution is crucial. The Universal 65W 5 USB Port GaN Charger (model number CWC65W) promises just that – a single charger capable of powering up to five devices simultaneously. After weeks of testing this charger with various devices, from smartphones and tablets to laptops, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review.

The CWC65W boasts a compelling feature set. Its most significant selling point is the inclusion of two USB-C ports and three USB-A ports, allowing for versatile device charging. The use of GaN (Gallium Nitride) technology promises faster charging speeds and reduced heat generation compared to traditional chargers. The multi-protection system is a welcome addition, offering peace of mind against over-current, over-voltage, overheating, and short circuits. The compact design is also noteworthy; it’s surprisingly small and lightweight considering its power output.

In my testing, the CWC65W consistently delivered on its promises. Charging speeds were noticeably faster than my older, non-GaN chargers, particularly with my MacBook Pro. The ability to charge my phone, tablet, and earbuds simultaneously without any performance drop was impressive. Even during extended use, the charger remained relatively cool, avoiding the excessive heat that plagued some of my previous chargers. I especially appreciated the consistent power delivery, even when all five ports were in use. There was no noticeable drop in charging speed across the different ports. The small size was a definite plus, easily fitting in my travel bag.

However, I did notice one minor caveat. While the charging speeds were generally excellent, the actual speeds varied slightly depending on the device and cable used. This isn’t a major issue, but something to keep in mind. I also tested it on an older laptop that didn’t support fast charging. The CWC65W charged it as expected.

Pros:

• Fast charging speeds with GaN technology.
• Five ports (2 USB-C, 3 USB-A) for multiple device charging.
• Compact and lightweight design.
• Multiple safety features (over-current, over-voltage protection).
• Relatively cool operation even under heavy load.

Cons:

• Minor variations in charging speed depending on device/cable.

Overall, the Universal 65W 5 USB Port GaN Charger (CWC65W) is a highly impressive charging solution. Its combination of speed, versatility, safety features, and compact design makes it an excellent choice for anyone with multiple devices to charge. While the minor variations in charging speeds are noticeable, they aren’t significant enough to detract from the overall positive experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this charger to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient way to power their devices.
