Teardown of Lenovo Legion 140W PD3.1 USB-C GaN Laptop Charger

[@tanishqbhaiji103]

Just imagine having ChengX caps in your expensive 140w charger, ChengX is a joke amongst Power guys, people just taunt having ChengX caps and Lenovo went ahead and used them. But I do appreciate the funky capacitor daughter board.

[@rokiedecentra9656]

Yeah no wonder its much cheaper than other brands.....

[@PookyMo100]

If I still go to school with a legion laptop, I'd probably buy this instead of carrying the 300w power brick 😆 Though I haven't read if it can charge while it's turned on.

[@mariuspuiu9555]

yes, you can charge the laptop like with a normal charger while using it. it will just be slower and you won't be able to use the performance mode.

[@mahdyfouad]

great video.

[@aayush9195]

What is the thickness of copper heat sink ??

[@Frank8ooth77]

Am I correct in saying that this adapter will only output 20v 7a with a 240v input? If that's the case It would be limited to 100w max at 120v in North America.

[@rokiedecentra9656]

Yeah

[@gvctdcgg4824]

Great insights

[@anhduc0913]

I want to ask, does this work with the 135w cable square connector? I got this 140w but didn't know that it only has usb c cable and I don't have the tools to test the square tip 135w cable. Edit: answer my own question. Yes, it does, it says that on the box but I never translated it so didn't know.

[@Danglegin]

Hey, many thanks for that last note. I also wanted to know if the square tip cable would be able to charge my 2022 Legion (135W). I just ordered through Ali a square tip to USB c cable to do just that!

[@an_g3l]

Compare to AOHi Magcube 140W, which one do you think is better quality in longevity?

[@pr0jectSkyneT]

Is this compatible with Lenovo Legion Slim 5 Gen 8 14" OLED? Does it allow the laptop to run in hybride mode graphics (use Nvidia 4060)? I used another 140w GaN charger, and it only allows it to run using integrated GPU.

[@technicaldhruba7406]

Super

[@rokiedecentra9656]

Nice

[@senny_penny]

Does anyone know if I can use this charger with Dell XPS? Or I will run into 100W USB C limit and it doesn't make sense to get this charger

[@skynight5524]

Is this charger compatible with the legion 5 15ARH05 model? It's power brick is 170w with a slim type 3 pin connector. I don't mind cutting some of the power out as I will only be using it for productive tasks when I go outside.

[@juliocastillo8914]

Already available for buying? where? Is there aby other brand 140w capable of delivery 20Vx7A? Thank you

[@POWERFPV2024]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@user-te4cu2rg9t]

Hi. Can i use this charger for hp victus? It supports 20v 5A. But i see that this charger supports 20v 7A. At the other side, i understand that, this 20v 7A only compatible with legion and Lenovo, not other brands. Am ı true?

[@TheStopwatchGod]

Does this mean Lenovo will finally be using EPR for their laptops?

[@meor5175]

can i use this to charge legion 5 15ARH7H?

[@mohcineelharras2707]

They write pd 3.1 while it's not... Pd3.1 ks 28v 5a while lenovo only charges at 20v 7a So a conventional pd 3.1 wont work ..

[@The_Bo]

it says 28V 5A both printed on the power brik and both on the power-z test shows 28v-5A...so why do you say that?

[@mohcineelharras2707]

The pc doesnt take 28v 5a, it only takes in 20v 7a So pr3.1 is incompatible

[@The_Bo]

@@mohcineelharras2707 Which PC? This power brick can be used for anything compatible not only a specific laptop. And since the subject is the power brick reviewed and it is compatible as long as it is capable and any capable sink could take advantage of its compatibility I think it's fair to say it is correctly advertised. Don't you think? It's like saying that you car can do 180 km/h but since in highway you cannot do more than 130km/h they are claiming something that is not. If you race track the car you can achieve the advertised 180 km/h. Isn't it or did i miss your point?

[@mohcineelharras2707]

@@The_Bo we are talking legion gen 8 Mine can go up to 140w

[@The_Bo]

@@mohcineelharras2707 oh...sorry i saw your comment dircetly below the the powerbrick review, didn't see any reference to legion 8 in your post thread. Nevermind

[@leirnj]

Can you play while using this charger at Legion slim 7i i9 4070?

[@Mazoa333]

Hi is this support legion 5 2021 3060?

[@yevgeniyurdenko5241]

Will it change Tesla?

[@tusnat760]

Does this charger support Dell precision 5560 ?

[@koryyyy]

If the dell precision supports charging via type-c this charger will do. pretty overkill for sure.

[@tanishqbhaiji103]

Mostly B grade components used, not good just as expected from lenovo.

[@thanhola2812]

it has support fast charge 2.0 samsung for s23ultra ?

[@lucass5441]

sim

[@airbornez602]

Can it charge legion 5 2021 model ?
