45W USB C Laptop Charger Compatible with HP Spectre x360 - Reliable PD

Our review of the 45W USB-C laptop charger looks at whether this compact PD adapter is a practical replacement for USB-C HP and select Dell and ASUS laptops. The bottom line: it is a sensible, budget-friendly choice for users who need a straightforward USB-C PD power adapter that supports common voltage profiles and delivers up to 45W for reliable day-to-day charging. It is best for owners of HP Spectre x360, Envy x360 and similar models who want a lower-cost spare or travel charger rather than a premium OEM unit.

Key Features

• 45W USB-C Power Delivery: Provides up to 45W output and supports 5V, 9V, 15V and 20V profiles so laptops negotiate the correct voltage for efficient charging.
• Wide HP Compatibility: Designed to work with USB-C PD HP models including Spectre x360, Envy x360, EliteBook, ProBook and Pavilion Aero for broad laptop coverage.
• Also Works with Dell and ASUS: Compatible with many Dell XPS, Latitude and Inspiron USB-C PD versions and selected ASUS ZenBook, VivoBook and ExpertBook models for cross-brand convenience.
• Built-in Safety Protections: Over-voltage, short-circuit, overheating and over-current protections help keep connected devices safe and maintain battery longevity.
• Complete Kit: Includes the 45W USB-C charger and a cloverleaf AC power cable so it is ready to use out of the box for most regions that support that cable style.

Who It's For

This charger is well suited to users who own a USB-C PD-capable HP Spectre x360, Envy x360, EliteBook, ProBook, Pavilion Aero or an eligible Dell or ASUS laptop and who need a compact, lower-cost spare or replacement adapter. It is a practical pick for students and professionals who travel and want a small, single-port charger that supports common PD voltage profiles.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who need fast-charging smartphone protocols like PPS or devices that require more than 45W for full-speed charging, and anyone needing an OEM-branded warranty or a charger rated specifically for heavy, continuous high-power use.
