★☆☆☆☆ Once I received this product, I have connected to my X1 carbon Lenovo 5th gen. As soon as I plugged it in, there were some strange flickers on the screen and laptop died. It is not starting up any longer. It damaged my laptop. I am feeling sorry and bad that I purchased this product and damaged my laptop.
★★★★★ TLDR: it's an inexpensive, compact charger that works and is comparable to more expensive chargers. And it comes with a USB-C cable.Long version: I usually don't buy new products until they have been used, abused and reviewed by others but I have battery packs and other chargers from ZMI that have worked perfectly so I bought this charger when it was released. So far it's been great, its charged a 13" Macbook Pro at 65W and a Lenovo Yoga 14" at full power without any fuss. I can't speak to its durability as I've only had it for a few days but if it's anything like the other ZMI products I have then it should last a while, I'll update this review if I encounter any problems. It's tiny, about the same size as the RAVPower 61W GaN charger but is cheaper and includes a decent length cable. ZMI may not be as well known as RAVPower but the products I've used in the past have been good, hopefully this charger is just as good.
★★★★★ Conclusion upfront: It's perfect in everything but for ultimate portability.ZMi is a very famous brand in China when it comes to wall adapters. This 65w product is THE BESTSELLER on many Chinese online shopping websites, as one of my friends from China told me so.Back to the adapter itself, it's nice that for $20 it comes with a C-C cable in the box, with up to 100W capability. It's not that small, as mentioned in the title, but it's by NO means big. Without GaN, this might be close to the minimum in terms of volume. It's just not that awesome compared to adapters like the Ravpower 61w GaN one.Yes it feels heavier than my Apple 12w iPad adapter coming with my iPad, but not that much, far from making it annoying to carrying around.But that's where the Cons end. Talking about charging itself, no doubt about it: compatible with iPhone, Galaxy Phones, my iPad Pro, and my Thinkpad X1 Carbon. So that's PHONE(18w/15w), TABLET(about 30w), LAPTOP( max at 65w, depending on your model). It should be able to enable 25w on Samsung Note 10+ and the new S20 series, but 45w is NOT very likely, as that would require a 10V/4A PPS PD protocol, which is not covered by most under-70 adapters.The power is absolutely abundant, while it does NOT heat! I know for now it's very subjective to say so, as the weather is very YMMV, but talking about my own situation, at Seattle around the wintertime, inner T like 10C(50F), charging my laptop merely warmed it up! Nowhere close to being hot. This is very incredible, as I also have experience with the Ravpower 61W 1C(GaN)/1C1A(non-GaN) and the Baseus 65w 2C1A(GaN) adapters, all of which heat more obviously fueling my laptop ( the 2 GaN ones much more significantly).My Lenovo requires a 65w input, as is the rated input from the OEM charger, so all chargers would work at maximum. The heat is so intense with the 2 GaN that it actually caused me to fear about further use. This one, while not so compact, allows enough space to distribute the heat so well that you can literally feel it.If more to suggest about it, the 1C config is kinda limited and you would probably need more charger if you got a lot on the go. Also, since some part of the exterior is well polished like a piano's surface, it may show signs of wear and/or scratches easily. But these are just some minor issues that shouldn't discourage you from going for it.To finalize, this is the 99% perfect 1C 60w-level PD adapter, if you feel the specs fit you, then just buy it.
