6 fast charging Xiaomi notebooks: 45W-90W


Notebook as a mobile productivity tool allows people to experience the convenience of handling work in different locations. When it comes to laptop chargers, I believe that many people’s first impression is a big black brick, which is not only huge but also heavy and headache.

So notebook manufacturers started from their own sources, fully transitioned to the USB-C multi-function interface, and redesigned the compact charger. Today we will take a look at the USB-C chargers that Xiaomi has launched for notebooks.


Question: Can the laptop PD charger have such high power, can it be used to charge a mobile phone?

Answer: The notebook PD charger is compatible with the USB PD fast charging standard. In addition to charging the notebook, it is also commonly used in other digital products. All Xiaomi laptop PD chargers include a wealth of output voltage files. Mobile phones commonly use 9V voltage and tablets commonly use 15V voltage. As long as the corresponding models have these voltage outputs, they can provide PD fast charging for mobile phones and tablets.

Q: What is the difference between Xiaomi's PD charger with USB-C cable and the PD charger with a conventional USB-C interface?

Answer: Xiaomi once launched two PD chargers with USB-C cables. In fact, PD chargers with a regular USB-C interface can be used as PD chargers. The self-contained cable is a USB-C output port, which also supports PD fast charging, and the self-contained cable has more protection at the outlet position and is more durable in an anti-bending design. The conventional USB-C charger without a cable allows users to use different cables, taking into account both USB-C devices and Lightning devices.
