Short Review:
It works, it's inexpensive, does not feel cheap, buy it.
A little more details:
I had been in the market for a "universal" charger for my growing collection of USB C devices. My latest being a Surface Go and a new Dell work laptop as well as a Galaxy Note 9. The main reason for the quest was to eliminate the need to carry around multiple chargers in an already cramped backpack. This charger fits the bill perfectly. It has plenty of power to charge up my Surface Go and Inspiron 13 7000 just as quick as their respective wall adapters and it also activates "fast charging" on my Note 9 ( I'm sure it would do the same on a S9 or S9+).
Size, I can't say it's as small as my phones charger.. but maybe twice the size. It's lightweight but does not feel cheap. The cable length is enough to "reach" in most places that I have plugged it into but not so long it becomes bothersome. The USB C connecter offers a nice and tight "snap" when plugging into my phone and it feels secure and sturdy. I have been keeping an eye on temperature and as of now I have not experienced the charger get more than warm even when the i7 on the inspiron is pushing hard. Overall a excellent purchase - oh and I DID NOT get paid to write this or discount code or whatever people are getting now and days.
I was looking for a small profile charger for my ThinkPad X1 Yoga 3rd Gen and was wondering how small the Nekteck 45W charger would be compared to the 65W charger that came with the laptop and also if it would actually be able to charge it - as I couldn't find any reviews on compatibility with the ThinkPad laptops.
It is basically half the size as you can see on the picture, and weight wise, probably less than a third, considering the additional weight from the cable). I decided to order the Nekteck 65W charger just in case, but seems that I won't need the 65W charger at all (might keep it just as additional charger at home, but not for carrying / travel). Also there is not that much difference on portability between the Lenovo 65W charger and the Nekteck 65W charger due to the larger width and height of the second.
Both Nekteck chargers are compatible with the X1 Yoga 3rd Gen.
Needed a spare charger for on the go. I was worried this would not charge the laptop but I can confirm this works. A lot cheaper than paying Razer for the original charger at the price point they wanted.
With this charger plugged in, power keeps disconnecting and connecting every few minutes, even when the laptop is left completely stationary. The screen brightness adjust constantly because my MacBook goes into power saving mode when power disconnects. And even worse at night, when I'm trying to sleep, I keep hearing the ding sound that the MacBook makes when you plug in power, every few minutes. So I have to disconnect the charger before I go to bed.
[UPDATE]
Customer service reached out to me immediately after seeing my review and gave me the option to get a free replacement unit or to get a full refund without returning the item. Excellent company policy!
Charges my thinkpad t470 and huawei smartphone perfectly. I get the full 45 watts on my t470, and it charges faster than the provided charger. Only downside is that the cord isn't replaceable, but then again a new 6 foot usb c to usb c cable costs $10, whereas this entire set up is only $20.
When I first got my usb-c devices usb-c was still the new kid on the block, and the only decent charger you could get was the $90 apple one. Glad that prices are finally dropping and reliable chargers are coming out.
EDIT: the plug is also excellently shaped in that it's long instead of wide. A lot of stupid chargers are super wide and therefore occupy multiple outlets in a power strip or on a wall. This one is long and therefore it'll fit perfectly on either the bottom outlet or on any power strip
Edit: half a year later. Still works fine, cord shows wear where it connects to the brick. Definitely a downside but I don't think it warrants a star deduction.

1 x USB C 45W PD Wall Charger with Captive 6ft Cable
I got this because the AC adapter for the Alpha Switch 12 is pretty big and bulky, which kind of defeats the purpose of a small and light convertible. It charges the laptop through its USB C port with no problem and although it isn't as fast as the OEM charger it is still pretty fast and continues to charge while you're using the laptop. I also tried it on my OnePlus 6 cell and although it doesn't quick charge (which I didn't expect, since OnePlus uses a highly proprietary Dash Quick Charge system) it worked well as a regular charger.
Works perfectly to rabid charge my Essential Phone. Not many chargers actually deliver on USB-C PD that the Essential Phone requires for rapid charge but this one definitely does the job. This charger charges my phone just as quickly as the OEM charger that came with my Essential Phone. It will also charge my Surface Book 2 and any other device that uses USB-C PD (Macbooks, Samsung Tablets, etc). Very happy with this purchase (and yes, I purchased this with my own money and at no discount, etc).
I was skeptical about the captive cord, since when it wears out the whole charger has to be tossed and replaced. However I'm finding it works great for me. If you have family members / coworkers / roommates who are on IOS devices or other non-USB C android devices and are prone to debowing* your charging bricks or cables, this might be your solution. I dig the 6' cord length too. I prefer to carry this with me over the Google supplied one with it's pitiful 3' cord.

OK, I will be the first to admit that I am very reluctant to buy a 5 star reviewed item these days. I purchased this charger because I thought it was a decent deal to charge my Pixel 2 and XPS 13 9360. I was not sure if it would work on both devices since I read that the pixel 2 was picky. I got the charger today and was extremely happy to find out that it not only charges the laptop at the same watts as the stock charger, the pixel 2 also showed fast charging.
The chord has a grippy feel to it and the packaging was not great. It looked like mine was an open box item since the box was word where you open it. It was in plastic with no additional padding inside the box. It is about the size of an ipad charging brick, but the prongs do not fold. I charged both devices and the brick was a little warn, but the devices and the chord were both cool to the touch.
Trust that this is a real review in case you were worried. I was not paid for the review, and had to pay full price for the item. I would gladly accept a discount if Nekteck felt generous :-).
I would buy this again in a heartbeat and will update the review if I have any problems in the future.
"Charging Rapidly" works!!!! Finally after about 3 or 4 aftermarket chargers I finally found one for my Google Pixel 2 XL that shows the charging rapidly, using a non-goole, aftermarket chargers. I wasted about $40-$50 on other chargers. This one finally works! I'm going to use this in my car. Hook up a DC to AC power invertor in your cigarette lighter in your car, then plug this in the invertor and I got rapid charging in my car. So excited! Thank you!!!
