Introducing the SlimQ F330, the world’s smallest 330W gaming laptop power adapter & charger

Story

Power-hungry gaming laptops need feeding. And now there’s a new style 330W charger that’s smaller, lighter, and faster than any similar gaming laptop charger.

If you want to keep your laptop powered up but don’t want to carry around a bulky, brick-like charger, the SlimQ 330W GaN-based charger is the winner.

While the gaming laptops themselves have become lighter and more streamlined in recent years to boost their portability and their power, it’s a different story when it comes to their chargers. They seem to have become the forgotten feature – until now.

The SlimQ F330 delivers the power and portability gaming laptop chargers have been lacking. It’s the world’s first and smallest charger in its power category and something you can slip into any bag and carry around without it weighing you down.

The SlimQ F330 is up to 50% smaller and lighter than other laptop chargers in the same power category.
Here’s how it measures up: 3.54 x 1.26 x 4.96 in. (WxHxL)/90 x 32 x 126.2 mm

SlimQ F330 is the best solution for game players, creators, and engineers who want to carry their high-powered laptops on the go. With only 19.7 oz. / 560g in weight, it’s much easier to bring it along to wherever you go.

Whatever your gaming laptop of choice, SlimQ F330 is ready to charge it. Just opt for the specially designed converter that matches your machine and plug it in to suck up some of the F330’s incredible power via the DC port. The converters are grouped by brand, so when you choose a brand, you get all the converters in one pack for that brand. Note: those are specially made to pass the high current required for gaming laptops. There are converter tips on the market, but they are not up to the job for high-powered devices such as gaming laptops.

Just like the best gamers, the SlimQ F330 is skillful at accomplishing multiple tasks at once. And even though it’s small and compact, this is a charger with the capacity to power up three devices at once. So while you’re playing and your laptop’s charging, your phone, tablet, or any other machine that uses USB Type-C can be charging too. Thanks to the two handy USB C PD3.0 ports integral to the F330’s sleek design.

As a laptop gamer, you’ll likely experience plenty of heat on your laptop screen during gaming sessions. Battling to save lives, planets, and maybe the entire universe is hard. So too, completing missions, scoring game-winning goals or touchdowns, and crossing the finishing line first on the track. The last thing you need when faced with such gaming challenges is to feel the heat generated by your laptop charger. And, let’s face it, plenty of chargers get super-hot when they’re called into action for a long game or mission. So it’s good to know that the SlimQ F330 is designed to generate 30% less heat (due to its high power efficiency) than other chargers in the same power category. 

Yes, this is a charger that’s primarily for gaming laptops. But it is also a good fit for creators, designers, engineers, and business professionals who utilize high-powered laptops. It’s ideal for charging multiple devices when used in all kinds of scenarios. Being so small and light, it’s the perfect charger to take with you for remote working or when you go away on business or leisure trips.

Why wouldn’t you swap your current cumbersome charger for a newer, sleeker model? It’s shorter than a standard smartphone and just as portable, making it ideal to take with you to gaming sessions around mates’ places, as well as on business and leisure trips. Power up your charging with Gallium Nitride (GaN) might sound like the name of a space-age gaming character, but it’s actually a highly advanced charging technology that’s an upgraded form of silicon. And it produces charging speeds for mobile devices that are up to 2.5 times faster than regular chargers. That’s the kind of speed that gaming friends who are still using old-school chargers need to know about.

The SlimQ F330 supports all standard fast-charging protocols such as PD 3.0, PPS, QC 4+, SCP, FCP, etc. So, for example, you can charge your iPhone from 0 to 50% in 27 minutes.

Here at SlimQ, we celebrate practicality and convenience as we know that’s what users who are often on the go want and need. Our goal is to create iconic and functional products that genuinely provide solutions. The new SlimQ F330W charger is designed to look good with a superior feeling and grip. Your laptop adapter/charger will not look ugly from now on!

 

 

Don’t go hogging all that power!
The new SlimQ charger has plenty of power to share. That’s why we designed a multi-port extender to allow extra connectivity. With an additional 2xUSB A and 2xUSB C, you can simultaneously share the power with friends or charge all your mobile devices. This extender can also be used with your legacy adapter and turn it into a PD-enabled modern charger and fast charge your phones and USB C laptops. The extender is the 2nd generation and supports all input from 5V to 24V. With proper connectors, you can turn any dust-gathering home charger into a modern USB charger with fast charging capabilities!  These extenders work well with SlimQ F150/F240 and this F330 charger. See it working in a car HERE

When you buy an F330 charger, you will get the following items: one F330 charger, one DC-DC cable (XT60 and 5.5×2.5mm), and one AC cable (you need to choose the country-specific plug type when you order)

After you choose a charger perk, you will see add-on items, and you can add them to the order from there.

International shipping may be subject to import taxes, customs duties, and fees levied by the destination country. We have arranged with shipping companies, so you should not be paying the import tax. However, in very rare cases, YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE for those charges and procedures to clear the custom for the shipped item if the tax ever occurs, in which case we’d like to work with you directly to get this solved.

The recipient is also responsible for charges such as change of address and parcel holding. Return fees caused by the wrong address information are also the recipient’s responsibility. So PLEASE make sure you have the correct address information, including a phone number on file.

The list may change at the time of shipping start.

2. Shipping charge

The shipping charge varies significantly depending on the destination country and package weight. You can check the shipping rate during the checkout process after you put in the destination and items you picked up.

We will contact you when it comes to the ordering fulfillment stage. Again, you may pay more to cover the shipping or cancel the order.
