For frequent fliers or road warriors, carrying multiple devices is a norm rather than an anomaly these days. You have your laptop, smartwatch or wireless earbuds, which means you need to have a charger for each of them. With the Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3‑Port GaN Wall Charger 100W, you only need to carry one charger. And it is lightweight and compact one built for travel and multi-device workflows.
- Price: S$149 (get it at Shopee and Lazada)
- Ports: 2 x USB-C, 1 x USB-A
- Weight: 200g (with 3-plug tip)

The charger’s use of Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology enables performance in a smaller and more thermally efficient package compared to older silicon-based chargers. It runs cooler, wastes less energy, and maintains a compact footprint without compromising output.
And immediately when you look at this charger, what stands out is its low-profile, tight-to-the-wall design. Unlike traditional rectangular power bricks that jut awkwardly from sockets, this charger sits closer to the wall. That small design decision makes a big difference in real-world use, especially in cafés, airports, or older buildings where loose outlets can cause heavier chargers to sag or fall out.
The 2-pin (US & Japan) foldable plug is built into the charger, while the included 3-pin plug tip ensures you can use it in Singapore with no issues. You can easily attach and detach the 3-pin plug tip, thanks to a button at the bottom of the tip.
With 100W total output, the charger features two USB‑C PD 3.1 ports with PPS support and one USB‑A port. When using a single USB‑C port, Belkin claims it can output the full 100W — powerful enough to fast-charge a 16‑inch MacBook Pro from 0–50% in around 31 minutes. In other words, it can replace your chunky original laptop charger.
When all three ports are in use, the charger intelligently distributes power: up to 60W to the primary USB‑C port (ideal for a laptop), 22W to the second USB‑C port (great for a phone or tablet), and 18W to the USB‑A port for smaller accessories like wireless earbuds or smartwatch. This prioritised allocation ensures your laptop continues receiving sufficient power even while charging other devices — avoiding the frustrating slowdowns common with cheaper multiport adapters.
Compatibility is broad, covering the recent MacBook models, iPads, iPhones (including the iPhone 17 series), Samsung Galaxy devices up to the S26 lineup, Google Pixel phones, Nintendo Switch, and most USB‑C laptops and tablets. For anyone deeply embedded in the USB‑C ecosystem, this charger ticks nearly every box on the list.
For S$149, this charger doesn’t come with a charging cable. Thankfully, for this review, Belkin sent me its BoostCharge Pro Magnetic 240W USB-C Cable (S$65, get it at Shopee and Lazada) that supports up to 240W PD fast charging. It comes with magnetic self-tidying and clutter-free coiling design. It is also supposed to last for more than 100,000 bends and 20,000 plug-ins.
In my tests, using the above cable, I found that the charger was able to charge my 14-inch M1 MacBook Pro from 14% to 64% in 30 mins. For an older 2019 Intel 16-inch MacBook Pro, the performance is not as swift. It was only able to charge it from flat to 25% in 31 mins. Still, this charging performance is way better than your laptop’s original charger.
Of course, when you are using two ports or three ports, the charging time is going to be even slower and will vary depending on what devices you are charging. But if you are overseas and need to charge three devices overnight for your next working day, this charger is a heavesend.
VERDICT: The Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3‑Port GaN Wall Charger 100W is no doubt expensive for a wall charger. However, it will replace two or three separate chargers in your bag. So, it is easily a good investment for your pocket and your back in the long run.
