What is the maximum power supported by the USB-C connector for charging the Acer Nitro 16 AN16-42-R287 laptop?

65W, 100W or 140W?

    Hi Neo, how are you doing today? To answer your question, the maximum wattage is up to/or around 100 watts with most Acer Nitro gaming laptops. Some may be higher. The minimum is 65 Watts, but keep in mind you will need a specific charger. Most USB-C chargers (of any brand like HP, Dell and Acer) that are dedicated power supplies should work automatically if they are 65 watts minimum. For GaN PD chargers you will need 65 watts (dedicated laptop port), which as a whole should be 100 watts shared minimum across all three ports, but the laptop port on the GaN charger has to be 65 watts all by itself not including the other ports. I hope this helps.
