"Four and a quarter years ago, I told you how a USB-C cable could someday power all but the beefiest gaming laptops. Now, Framework is finally fulfilling the promise of 240 watts through a USB plug. Today, it's opening preorders for the first standards-compliant 240W USB-C PD power adapter ever sold by a computer company. Since Framework also has the first laptop that can support 240W USB-C PD, it's the latest way that Framework, a startup company, is leading the PC industry."
"While Framework might have the first complete 240W USB-C power solution, it's not technically the first 240W USB-C charger. We wrote about Delta's beefy DP-240KB last November, and Ugreen put its multi-port Nexode 500W on sale this summer with a single 240W port in addition to four 100W ones (it tops out at 240W+100W+100W+60W = 500W, in case you're curious)."
Framework has opened preorders for a standards-compliant 240W USB-C Power Delivery adapter and offers a laptop that supports 240W USB-C PD. The company is extending its modular, upgradable laptop approach by offering a swappable graphics option to replace an AMD Radeon RX 7700S with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070. Competing 240W-capable chargers from Delta and Ugreen exist, but many marketed "240W" chargers combine lower outputs rather than true 48V@5A design. Framework will price its single-port 240W charger at $109, with detachable power and USB-C cables and a compact brick size similar to its 180W charger.
