Pros & Cons

Baseus PicoGo AH11 140W 4-Port

Pros

  • +A genuine 70W plus 70W split across two ports, which almost nothing else here achieves
  • +The colour display showing real per-port wattage is the best implementation at this price
  • +PD 3.1 at 140W handles a 16-inch MacBook Pro
  • +The most thoroughly documented sharing table in this list

Cons

  • 248g and noticeably chunky
  • All four ports loaded drops two of them to 12W
  • Baseus uses two different SKU codes for the same product, which makes cross-checking confusing

Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter (A2305)

Pros

  • +Apple's own brick, so compatibility is never in question
  • +Sold everywhere and easy to replace
  • +Still one of the best-selling chargers on Amazon

Cons

  • Only 20W, and no GaN — the 30W Anker and UGREEN cost the same and are smaller
  • No PPS at all, so it will not fast-charge Samsung or Pixel phones properly
  • Fixed prongs, so it does not pack flat
  • 2020 silicon, functionally superseded by Apple's own 40W Dynamic adapter
