This 100W GaN charger is thin and foldable

If you need a compact and portable USB-C charger, Genki’s TurboCharger might do the trick. The gaming accessory maker claims its new gallium nitride (GaN) accessory is the “flattest” 100W wall charger on the market, able to fold down to 18 millimeters (0.7 inches) thick to make it easier to store.

The TurboCharger supports Power Delivery (PD 3.0) and has a pair of USB-C ports on the underside, which can each provide up to 100W or a 65W/30W split if you’re charging two devices simultaneously. Its slim design also means it can fit neatly into tight spaces like behind sofas or cupboards, and it keeps its weight closer to the wall to provide a more secure connection that’s less likely to fall off. And while the TurboCharger is aimed at portable gaming PC owners – providing enough power for the ROG Ally’s Turbo performance mode, for example – there’s no reason you can’t use it for other gadgets.

The game is being launched as part of a Kickstarter campaign, however. If you’re not worried about the risks of crowdfunding, you’ll be able to get it for a special price of $48, which the company says will later be increased to $60 for general availability.

One criticism of this design is that the charger could block secondary output ports or even an entire row on a power strip. Competing offerings like Anker’s $84.99 foldable Prime Charger avoid this by placing the prongs on the end. But for the best of both worlds (at the cost of power), Anker is also expected to release a slim 65W charger later this year that can fold its prongs into either orientation.
