Caveat: One port. 140W needs a 240W-rated cable.
Chargers rated 100W or more, for larger laptops and setups that keep several devices charging at full speed.
High-power chargers make sense for laptops that draw 90W or more, or when you want a laptop to keep charging quickly while other devices share the charger. Above 60W, remember that the cable needs a 5A or 240W rating.
