Quick answer

Multi-port chargers divide power according to port rules. Check the per-port and combined output before using one charger for laptop, phone and tablet.

What to check

  • List devices charged at the same time.
  • Check output per port with one device and multiple devices.
  • Review whether ports reset when devices are plugged in.
  • Check cable ratings.
  • Consider desk cable routing and heat clearance.

Trade-offs

One multi-port charger can reduce clutter, but it may charge a laptop slower when other devices are connected.
