- Will it charge my Dell XPS or Latitude at full speed?
- It supplies up to 100W over USB-C, which covers most USB-C Dell laptops at their full charging rate. Check your laptop's rated wattage; models that ask for more than 100W will charge slower.
- Can it charge a phone and a laptop together?
- No. It has a single USB-C output, so you charge one device at a time. For two devices at once you need a multi-port charger.
- Does it work with non-Dell laptops?
- Yes, as long as the device charges over USB-C Power Delivery. It will supply whatever wattage that device requests, up to 100W.
- Is it smaller than the standard 100W adapter?
- Yes. The GaN internals let Dell shrink the body compared with older silicon-based 100W adapters, which makes it easier to pack.
- Does it come with a USB-C cable?
- The adapter is the charger itself. Plan on using a USB-C cable rated for 100W, since a lower-rated cable will cap the charging speed.
- Will it work with an older Dell laptop that uses a barrel plug?
- No. It outputs over USB-C only, so barrel-plug models need their own adapter or a USB-C-to-barrel tip that supports the required wattage.
