Lenovo‘s China marketing director today teased the company’s 135W USB Type-C charger for the upcoming Lenovo Legion laptops. The charger comes with support for PD 3.1 charging protocol, meaning that the Legion laptops will be supporting the standard as well.

The new USB-PD (Power Delivery) 3.1 standard was announced by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) back in May 2021 with an increased extended power range. This significantly boosts its charging power when compared to PD 3.0 from 100W to 240W.

After adopting the new protocol, Lenovo’s more premium laptops, Legion and regular ones both will likely be ditching the traditional square port charging interface. This means that such laptops will be compatible with a whole lot more chargers and that you’ll likely only be needing a single USB-C charger to power all of your devices.

Lenovo is working on a number of products to expand its Legion lineup, some of them being the Y90 gaming phone, Y700 gaming tablet, and the Y7000P gaming laptop, all of which are set to release sometime in 2022.

The Legion Y7000P gaming laptop is set to feature a 2K display with a 16:9 aspect ratio and a 165Hz refresh rate. More specifications are unknown at the moment, although we can expect more in the coming days.
