If you’re looking for a charger for a Lenovo laptop, it’s not as simple as it might seem. Sure, you could grab the first USB-C charger you see, but what if it doesn’t have enough power? Or worse – what if it damages the laptop? In this article, you’ll find concrete information on which charger to choose for the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chrome 14M868, Lenovo V17 G4, and Lenovo Chromebook IdeaPad Duet 3 models. We’ll also suggest whether it’s worth buying a more powerful charger (e.g. 100W instead of 45W) and check whether the DEKO 100W, 67W, and 65W chargers are suitable for them.
What parameters should a good charger for a Lenovo have?
Not every USB‑C charger will be suitable for your laptop. Here are a few things you need to pay attention to:
- Power (W) – each laptop model has its own power requirements. You can use a more powerful charger, but never a weaker one.
- Power Delivery (PD) – this is the technology that allows you to safely and quickly charge a laptop via USB-C. Not all chargers support PD!
- Plug type – some Lenovo laptops have a traditional round connector (Round Tip), while others support USB-C. Check which type your laptop uses.
