Sharge's Pixel 140W GaN charger drops to about $70 in early deals

The headline discount

Sharge's Pixel 140W GaN charger is selling for $69.88 on Amazon and $69.90 through Sharge's own store, according to The Verge. That works out to about $24 off the charger's usual price, a cut of more than 25 percent.

The deal is part of a roundup of discounts The Verge published on November 11, which also covered a buildable Halo Warthog, a compact Lenovo desktop and a DJI gimbal. The charger is the item aimed squarely at laptop owners who want one brick for travel.

What the Pixel 140 offers

The charger has three USB-C ports and can deliver up to 140W when only one of them is in use. Sharge claims that is enough to take a 16-inch MacBook Pro from an empty battery to half charge in 25 minutes, though that figure comes from the company rather than independent testing.

Sharge also says the unit is 47 percent smaller than the power brick Apple ships with the MacBook, which matters for anyone packing a bag. A small display on the side shows the current charging wattage, and both its brightness and orientation can be adjusted.

Smaller options for lighter loads

Buyers who do not need 140W can pick the 67W version for $19.90, a $30 reduction, or the 100W model for $59.90, which is $16 off. All three share the same design language, so the choice mostly comes down to how much power a user's devices draw.

The 140W tier is the one that suits large laptops, while the lower-wattage units would cover phones, tablets and smaller notebooks. The Verge lists the prices at both Amazon and Sharge, so availability may vary between the two.

Other deals in the same roundup

The Verge also flagged Mattel's Brick Shop Warthog at $62.99 on Amazon, $12 below its usual price and described as the lowest price seen for the 935-piece set. It builds a 1:22 scale model of the Halo vehicle and includes a smaller metal version at 1:64 scale.

For desktop buyers, the Lenovo Yoga Mini is listed at $599.99 at Best Buy, a $460 discount tied to the retailer's early Black Friday promotion. The compact PC runs an Intel Core Ultra 5 chip and comes with 16GB of LPDDR5X memory plus a 512GB drive, along with lighting effects around the chassis and Wi-Fi presence sensing. The DJI Osmo Mobile 8 gimbal is also on sale at Amazon for $89, $20 off, with 360-degree horizontal panning and more than 10 hours of battery life per charge.

Why the charger matters

GaN chargers have become a common way to replace the bulky adapters that ship with laptops, and Sharge's model adds a display that shows how much power is flowing. For frequent travellers, one brick that can top up a laptop, phone and accessories is simpler than carrying several.

The discount brings the 140W model closer to the price of less capable chargers, though buyers should check current listings before ordering since sale prices can change. The Verge's figures reflect the prices at the time of publication.
