This thin charger is just about the perfect travel charger.
It’s also slim and light enough to fit into almost any bag, making it perfect for travel.
GaN chargers aren’t too far from replacing your regular chargers.

We take a look at how they work.
Before my review unit arrived, I traveled withNomads 130W Power Adapter.
With the decreased size, I could also use a smaller electronics pouch.
The Nomad 65W Slim Power Adapter can provide enough power to at least slow charge your laptop and one extra device. It’s also slim and light enough to fit into almost any bag, making it perfect for travel.
I was previously using aPeak Design Tech Pouch.
Hotels sometimes dont offer enough plugs, and bulky bricks dont easily fit behind the bed.
What Happens When You Plug In Two Devices?
The Nomad 65W Slim Power Adapter can provide enough power to at least slow charge your laptop and one extra device. It’s also slim and light enough to fit into almost any bag, making it perfect for travel.
As the name implies, this Nomad charger can output a maximum of 65W of power.
Now, if you were to use both USB-C ports simultaneously, neither would put out the full 65W.
Instead, Nomad splits the output into 45W and 20W.

In most cases, when charging larger items, you will want to keep the secondary port empty.
65W is usually the minimum requirement for slow charging a laptop.
Should You Buy the Nomad 65W Slim Power Adapter?
The minimalistic design is perfect for any sized bag and fits in places where bulkier bricks wont.
This charger is an easy recommendation.
The Slim Power Adapters biggest flaw is its elongated design.

While the charger works perfectly in most outlets, it can cover additional plugs when used withsome power strips.
I never ran into this problem during my testing, but its one a coworker of mine identified.
