I have an asus x00p that doesn’t get hot while charging. 2018 manufactured.

I also have a xiaomi M2006C3MG that gets hot, 2020 manufactured.

Why?

    Are they charging at the same power input?

    Charging systems can differ in efficiency, some may let off more heat than others. Same with battery cells, IR differs between models of cells and higher IR = more heat at the same charge current.

    Direct charging like VOOC or PPS will also be more efficient than protocols like QC or PD as they minimize losses in the buck converter.
