Power and charging multiple devices
The three USB-C ports let you connect a laptop, tablet and smartphone at the same time, for example. The adapter dynamically adjusts its output to the needs of the connected devices. When charging multiple devices, the total power is shared between the ports, so each device may receive less power than it would when connected on its own.
The 140 W rating refers to the adapter’s output, not the power available simultaneously from each port. Charging speed also depends on the device, the cable and how power is divided between ports. The available information does not specify the limits for individual ports or combinations of ports.
GaN and USB Power Delivery support
The adapter uses GaN technology, which enables high power output in a compact, lightweight design. It also contributes to efficient operation and lower heat generation during charging.
USB Power Delivery 3.0 and 3.1 support allows the P140 to charge compatible laptops, tablets and smartphones. To take advantage of high charging power, both the device and the cable must support the relevant power level.
At home and on the road
The Minix P140 weighs 300 grams and has a compact design, making it easy to carry between home, the office and your travel bag. Its 100–240 V input allows it to be used in regions with different mains voltages.
Interchangeable plugs for US, EU and UK outlets make the adapter easier to use in those regions. Before travelling, check that you have the plug you need and that it fits the local outlet type.
Construction and model comparison
The adapter has a fire-resistant polycarbonate casing. Together with its compact GaN design, it forms the basis of a charger intended for everyday use and carrying.
Compared with the Minix P1 and P3, the P140 offers more power and more ports. It is therefore particularly worth considering if you need to charge several devices at once. It also has a higher rated output than a 67 W adapter, but that difference alone does not prove it will charge a 16-inch MacBook in half the time.
