Description
The ASUS 100W USB-C GaN Charger represents a significant leap in power density, utilizing Gallium Nitride semiconductors to maintain a small footprint without sacrificing performance. Capable of delivering a full 100W via a single USB-C port, it easily handles high-performance laptops like the ASUS Zenbook or MacBook Pro. The inclusion of a high-quality 150cm USB-C cable ensures you have everything needed for immediate high-speed charging right out of the box.
This product is for:
- Remote professionals who need to power a laptop and a smartphone simultaneously using a single wall outlet.
- International travelers who benefit from the 100-240V universal voltage support and compact dimensions.

In real-world usage, the AC100-03 excels at intelligent power allocation. When two USB-C devices are connected, the charger dynamically splits power to 65W and 30W, ensuring your laptop stays charged while your phone fast-charges. The GaN technology ensures the unit remains significantly cooler than traditional silicon-based chargers during sustained 100W loads. Its 1.5-meter cable provides ample reach in cafes or airports where power outlets are often inconveniently placed.
Compared to standard 96W or 100W single-port laptop bricks, the ASUS AC100-03 is roughly 20% smaller and offers three times the connectivity. Unlike basic multi-port chargers that often drop to slow speeds when all ports are occupied, this unit maintains a robust 65W output on the primary USB-C port even when the other two ports are sharing 30W, making it far more reliable for professional laptop use.
Q&A:
- Can this charger power a gaming laptop? It provides up to 100W via USB-C, which is sufficient for many ultraportable gaming laptops and creator series, though high-end gaming rigs may require their original proprietary bricks for full performance.
- Does it support Samsung Super Fast Charging? Yes, the integrated PPS (Programmable Power Supply) support up to 100W ensures compatibility with various fast-charging protocols.
- What happens if I use all three ports? The charger intelligently distributes power, providing 65W to the first USB-C port and sharing the remaining 30W between the second USB-C and USB-A ports.
- Is the 150cm cable included in the package? Yes, the retail package includes the 100W GaN charger and a dedicated 1.5-meter USB-C charging cable.
- Is it safe for international travel? Yes, the 100-240V input range makes it globally compatible, though a physical plug adapter may be required depending on the region.
