Summary
Modular laptop company Framework has partnered with Chicony to develop the first-ever 180W USB-C PD 3.1 charger. The company plans to ship its upcoming Framework Laptop 16 with this charger, which is only twice the size of its 60W adapter but has three times the power. Though Framework anticipates the arrival of third-party 240W USB PD fast chargers soon, it doesn’t mean its laptop will consume 180W; it’s expected to draw power from the battery as well.
