Minix NEO P1 Mini Review: 100W GaN in a Palm-Sized Charger

What Is the Minix NEO P1 Mini?

The Minix NEO P1 Mini is a 100W GaN (gallium nitride) wall charger with three USB-C ports and one USB-A port, in a form factor approximately 40% smaller than a conventional 100W charger. GaN semiconductor technology enables more efficient power conversion at higher density than silicon, which is why the thermal management challenge of 100W can be addressed in a smaller package. At £44.90 and 4.2 stars from 1,497 buyers, it is one of the most validated compact GaN chargers on Amazon UK.

Port Configuration and Output

The primary USB-C port delivers up to 100W — sufficient for MacBook Pro 14-inch fast charging and comparable USB-C laptops. When a second USB-C device is connected, the charger automatically negotiates power distribution, typically splitting to 65W + 30W or similar ratios depending on the connected device profiles. The USB-A port adds Quick Charge 4.0 at up to 22.5W for compatible Android phones. All four ports can deliver simultaneously, with total output capped at 100W across all connected devices.

Size and Travel Use

The compact form factor — approximately 70mm × 70mm × 30mm — replaces two to three separate chargers for a typical travel setup: laptop charger, phone charger, earbuds charger. The UK 3-pin plug folds flat for luggage packing. At 130g it is heavier than a phone charger but significantly lighter than carrying three separate adapters.

Verdict

For desk or travel use where a single socket needs to charge a laptop and two phones simultaneously, the Minix NEO P1 Mini is the right tool. The 100W GaN output, compact form, and multi-port configuration justify the £44.90 price clearly.

Rating: 4.2/5 — The practical multi-device charger for a desk or travel bag.
