It still gets warm in use; that is the electronics working, not failing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 100W figure is the total, not the per-port rating. A laptop on its own takes all of it; add a phone and it splits to 65W and 30W, which is still full speed for both in most cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pins fold flat, which is the difference between a charger that travels and one that tears the lining of a bag. The mains lead detaches, so crossing a border means a new cable rather than a second charger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour ports sharing 100W means the split is the thing to plan around: two USB-C in use gives 65W and 30W, and the USB-A ports draw from the same budget.

Most cables do one of the three and look identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wattage display is the part you end up using. It shows what the charger and the device actually negotiated, which is how you catch a charger or a port quietly delivering less than it claims.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwenty-five thousand bend cycles is the specification that separates a cable braided for looks from one braided for life.
