What you're actually getting

Ten quid. For a 65W GaN charger with PD 3.1, PPS, and Samsung Fast Charge 3 support. Honestly, that's a proper strong spec sheet for the price. GaN means the brick runs cooler and stays smaller than older silicon chargers, which matters when you're shoving it in a bag every morning.

The single USB-C port keeps things simple. No USB-A, no second port fighting for wattage. Just one connection, full 65W, no arguments. For most people with a laptop and a separate phone charger already, that's fine.

Who this is actually for

If you've got a MacBook Air, a Dell XPS, or basically any USB-C laptop that tops out around 45-65W charging, this covers you completely. Also decent as a bedside charger if you want to keep your bigger brick for travel. A mate of mine ditched his bulky official charger for something like this and hasn't looked back.

Not ideal if you're regularly charging two devices at once, obviously. And if your laptop needs 90W or more, you'll want to look elsewhere.

My honest reservation

Amazon Basics stuff is usually fine, but build quality can vary. At this price there's no certification badge to lean on, and the cable isn't included, which is worth remembering before you order. Still, the community heat on HotUKDeals (672 degrees at time of writing) suggests people aren't disappointed once it arrives.

At a tenner it's low-risk enough that you don't need to agonise over it.
