The Best Fast Chargers for Every Device in 2025
We’ve tested all the top USB-C laptop chargers, and our favorites are compact, safe, and fast-charging.
Top pick
This compact charger can power almost any USB-C laptop at top speed, and it works great for lower-powered devices, too. Despite its affordable price, it even includes a cable.
Almost any laptop that charges over USB-C, including most of Apple’s MacBooks and top picks from Asus, Dell, and Samsung, charge at their fastest rate with a 60 W charger. Even if a laptop doesn’t need that much power, a faster charger is still safe to use and doesn’t have any negative effects.
Nekteck’s 60W USB-C GaN Charger is the best charger you can buy if you need a replacement for almost any modern laptop with a 13-inch (or smaller) screen that charges via USB-C. It will charge your device fast, it’s small, and it’s safe, since it’s one of the few chargers (especially at its price) to be certified by the USB-IF. It’s also quite affordable—a fraction of what you’d pay Apple for a replacement—even though it comes with a 6.5-foot, 60 W USB-C cable in the box.
Best for…
This model has all the power of the charger included with a 15- or 16-inch MacBook Pro but is smaller and costs much less. The included cable is removable and replaceable, in case it gets damaged.
We also have picks for high-powered laptops, such as the MacBook Air (2022 or later), the 14-inch MacBook Pro (2021 or later), the 15-inch MacBook Pro (2019 or later), and the 16-inch MacBook Pro (2019 or later). These laptops are the biggest exception to the 60 W rule, as they require between 67 W and 140 W to fast-charge at full speed. Apple provides sufficiently powerful chargers in the box with most configurations of these machines. But if you need a replacement or backup charger, we’ve found some great options that safely provide as much as 140 W of power for a fraction of the price of Apple’s chargers.
Nekteck’s 100W PD 3.0 GaN Wall Charger, our pick for most high-powered laptops, provides enough power to fast-charge a 2022 or newer MacBook Air, a 2021 or newer 14-inch MacBook Pro, or a 2019 15- or 16-inch MacBook Pro, and it costs less than half the price of Apple’s 96W USB-C Power Adapter. It’s smaller, too.
You can find even smaller high-power-draw chargers, but they’re a lot more expensive than this particularly affordable model. We think it provides a great balance of price, size, and power.
Likewise, most laptops and laptop chargers come with a compatible cable. But if you need a spare, our USB-C cable guide also includes recommendations for cables that can pass 60 W, 140 W, and more to a laptop.
