But, one thing to note. USB-C is usually going to be more powerful and this charge faster. |

I have a lot more USB-A chargers then USB-C chargers. Out and about, I didn't notice any USB-C chargers. I take USB-A cables, please.

You are an outlier. Also there are plenty of USB-C chargers that are not 100W or even not more than 15W. While 7.5W and 10W USB-A chargers are the most common there are several protocols for 3A at 5V, and also for 9, 12V and 20V charging on a USB-A 2.0 cable up to 30W. |

Two modest chargers will be much cheaper, able to charge in two places and more likely to work. A 100W charger is for a laptop. |

The other advantage to this charger is that is has multiple plug types so it's great for going on vacation where you need other plug types. The other thing is a lot of lesser powered adapters are not that much different in price. So why get them instead? |

On a related note, my 145W laptop adapter (affectionately known as the brick) uses GaN and is noticeably cooler when powering my laptop and docking station than the 65W adapter powering the laptop alone. |
