Honor is gearing up to make a major splash in the gaming laptop arena. The company is preparing to launch its first-ever Win-branded gaming laptop, and ahead of its official Chinese debut in April 2026, a company official has already given us a tantalizing glimpse at one of its most critical accessories: a compact 360W Gallium Nitride (GaN) charger that could change how gamers think about power bricks.
A Charger That Defies Expectations
In a recent post on Weibo, Honor’s Lin Lin shared details and images of the upcoming 360W GaN power adapter, which will reportedly ship with the new gaming laptop. The charger leverages both GaN and silicon carbide (SiC) technologies, a combination that allows for stable high-wattage charging while keeping the physical footprint surprisingly small.
Weighing in at just 405 grams (0.89 lbs) , the adapter is significantly lighter than traditional power bricks offering the same output. In terms of size, it closely resembles Lenovo’s Legion C245 adapter, making it a far more travel-friendly option than the bulky bricks typically associated with high-performance gaming laptops.

Good News for Gamers: You Can Buy It Separately
One of the most interesting reveals from Lin Lin’s post is that the 360W GaN charger will be available for separate purchase. Even better, it’s designed to be compatible with other gaming laptops on the market. This opens the door for gamers who own competing brands to invest in a high-wattage, compact power solution without being locked into a single ecosystem.
However, there’s a catch. Unlike some of Lenovo’s Legion GaN adapters that feature USB-C connectivity, this Honor charger opts for a barrel DC port. While Honor hasn’t confirmed whether it will offer official interface converters, the company official noted that barrel jack converters are widely available. For those needing USB-C compatibility, third-party solutions like this USB-C to 4.5mm converter on Amazon offer a practical workaround.
What Powers the Win Laptop?
While the charger is impressive on its own, the laptop it’s designed for is shaping up to be a powerhouse. According to Digital Chat Station, a well-known leaker with a solid track record, the upcoming Honor Win gaming laptop can be configured with:
- Up to an NVIDIA RTX 5070 Laptop GPU
- An Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX processor
This combination is expected to deliver over 250W of total system performance, leaving ample headroom with the 360W adapter—a smart move for sustained gaming sessions and power-hungry workloads.
Pricing and Availability
As of now, Lin Lin has not disclosed pricing or the exact release date for the 360W GaN adapter. With the laptop itself slated for a Chinese launch in April 2026, it’s likely that full details will emerge in the coming weeks. Given the adapter’s potential appeal beyond just Honor laptop owners, demand could be high for those seeking a premium, high-wattage GaN solution.

Stay tuned as we continue to track Honor’s entry into the gaming laptop market. If the company can deliver on performance and keep the overall package competitive, the Win brand might just become a new name to watch in portable PC gaming.
