Could somebody tell me exactly please what charger would fit for the laptop: 12V 2A (24W) or 12V 3A (36W). I want to buy an extra PD charger (usb c) so would like to know what’s charging of the laptop please. Best regards, G ---

Go for the 12v 3A. It will cover the freebook needs and have some extra power if needed for another device. Only important part is that the PD charger you buy covers 12V , a lot of chargers in the market go 5v, 9v, 15v, 20v, skipping the 12V which may not fit for some devices that require PD under 12V. ---

thank you very much for your reply! I found a nice charger (small, compact, reasonable priced) which says: Type-C1 Output: 5V/3A; 9V/3A; 12V/2.91A; 15V/2.33A; 20V/1.75A so would u think 12v/2.91A would charge my laptop correctly or it has to be 12v/3A as minimum. What’s what I want to figure out before ordering. many thanks for any info. Best, G ---

when I was on [linux](https://forum.chuwi.com/t/freebook-n100-charging-with-different-chargers-in-linux/45544) I noticed that any charger, even 45W/60W charger cannot push more than 20W energy into the battery. I would not be surprised if it would do the same in windows. so I would not worry much about 34.92W vs 36W charger. ---

Note that charging parameters has nothing to do with the operating system. The OS just displays the status of charging.

When the powerbank is fully charged it can charge my Minibook X 2023 almost 2 times. Baseus tells the powerbank does USB-C power delivery. That is a very complex standard. So they simplified their datasheet by listing equipment that can be charged and how many times. Unfortunately the MiniBook X 2023 is not in the list.

Which USB-C port should be used to charge the laptop using a “regular” (capable of delivering 12V at 3A) phone charger? Can the last (closer to the display) one on the right side only be used with the original charger? Is it possible to charge the computer using the first USB-C port on the right? ---
