What Makes This a GaN Charger
GaN (Gallium Nitride) technology allows chargers to deliver higher power in a smaller size with less heat loss.
In real use, this means:
Smaller charger body
Lower operating temperature
More efficient laptop charging
This is why the Baseus charger can deliver 65W in a body small enough to fit comfortably in one hand.
