100W1Maker spec sheet (PDF)psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/Legion/Legion_Go_S_8APU1/Legion_Go_S_8APU1_Spec.PDFRead 7 October 2026Page 5 Standard Ports: USB PD 65-100 W input, 15W output. 100 W maximum device input needs a compatible higher-power adapter, not the included 65 W unit. March 2025 SteamOS guide says 65 W achieves its maximum charging speed. The newer May 2026 exact 8APU1 PSREF explicitly identifies 65-100 W device-port input, and takes precedence for supported input. This does not revise the separately stated included-adapter charge-time claim.

100W3Owner's manualdownload.msi.com/archive/mnu_exe/nb/MS-1T41_v1.0_English.pdfRead 5 October 2026Original printed page 2-5 explicitly supports 65 to 100 W USB PD input, with optional 27 to 100 W only while powered off. The field records maximum explicitly supported device/system input, not measured battery power or supplied 65 W adapter. Exact maker A1M dock paragraph separately calls maximum charging speed 65 W. That wording does not explain negotiation or battery-only power, so literal scope difference remains reported. No claim of 100 W flowing to battery.
