Asus has released the a-bean 100W charger in China. This new power adapter brings gallium nitride technology to an affordable price point for consumers looking for high-speed charging solutions.
Four-port layout includes dual 100W USB-C outputs
The device features a four-port layout designed for users with multiple devices. It includes three USB-C ports and one legacy USB-A port to accommodate various connection needs.
- Total Power Output: 100W
- Port Configuration: 3x USB-C, 1x USB-A
- USB-C Port Max Output (C1): 100W
- USB-C Port Max Output (C2): 100W
- USB-C Port Max Output (C3): 20W
Each of the first two USB-C ports, labeled C1 and C2, supports up to 100W of output individually. This allows the charger to handle high-power laptops or fast-charging smartphones with ease.
When all four ports operate simultaneously, power distribution shifts to maintain stability. The system allocates 45W to C1, 30W to C2, and splits a combined 20W between C3 and the USB-A port.
The charger supports PD, QC, SCP, and PPS protocols for broad compatibility with modern electronics. Asus priced the unit at 179 CNY in China, which converts to approximately $26.44.
It remains unclear whether Asus plans to release this model outside of China. Buyers in other regions currently have no confirmed availability date for this specific accessory.
