Honor used its recent gaming-focused launch event to introduce a new high-power charger alongside its laptops, including the Honor WIN H9. The accessory is called the Honor WIN 360W GaN Adapter, and it’s priced at 499 yuan (~ $75) in China.
The adapter is designed primarily for Honor’s WIN H9 gaming laptop, but it can likely be used for other compatible gaming laptops too. The thing to note is that it uses a traditional DC barrel connector instead of USB-C. There are no official converters from Honor itself, but you should be able to find one easily on a marketplace.
Honor WIN 360W GaN Adapter Specifications
At 360W, this sits on the higher end of laptop charging solutions. What stands out more is how Honor is trying to make that power more manageable in terms of size and weight.
The adapter measures 85 x 85 x 33mm, which is relatively compact for something delivering this level of output. And it weighs around 420 grams.
Honor says the charger uses a mix of GaN (gallium nitride) and SiC (silicon carbide) materials. These have become more common in recent years, especially in higher-end chargers, because they allow for better efficiency and heat management without increasing size.
The company also mentions “automotive-grade technology,” although it hasn’t gone into detail about what that specifically involves. It likely refers to durability or thermal handling, which are important for devices that run under heavy loads for extended periods.
Another detail is that Honor is selling the adapter separately, rather than limiting it to bundled laptop purchases. This makes it useful for people who want a replacement charger or need an additional one for travel, assuming it is compatible with their device.
