Ceptics 140W Universal Travel Adapter (UP-140KU) review

The UP-140KU is Ceptics' high-power option. Either of its two main USB-C ports can deliver 140W on its own, enough for the largest USB-C laptops, and Ceptics publishes a detailed power split: 135W across both main ports (100W plus 35W), 118W when a third device joins, and 112W with all four USB ports in use. The third USB-C and the USB-A are 18W ports for phones and accessories. Like the 100W model, it has a universal AC socket plus a USA/Japan socket, four slide-out plugs for more than 200 countries, safety shutters and a replaceable 10A fuse with a spare. The trade-off against its sibling is convenience rather than power: there is no built-in cable, and with six charging points it has one fewer than the UP-100KU-WC. At $50.99 it costs only $6 more, so it is the better buy for anyone carrying a 16-inch laptop or two laptops.

Who it is for

Travelers with large laptops, or two laptops, who need more USB-C power than a typical adapter gives.
