    As long as it supports a 20 volt output and the Power Delivery standard, it will work. That said I would consider 60 watt to be the minimum. If you’re making your machine work hard (especially the AMD model) you won’t have enough power left over to charge at a decent speed and might actually lose charge (as the system can at times consume over 60 watts).

    That said, I carry around a tiny UGREEN 65-watt PD charger and it works really well. I have a larger charger that I take with me when I know I’m going to be loading the machine, but otherwise this keeps my daily carry light.

    If you go third party, get a reputable brand. Ultimately you’re entrusting an expensive chunk of electronics to this device, so don’t cheap out on either the charger or the cable.
