Which FW did you buy? I have a preorder for the FW16 with graphics module and couldn't find a 180W usb-c charger. A 100W would work for me if I'm just web browsing or watching videos, but if I want to game at all I assume the 100W charger wouldn't cut it.

I wanted to get a Ugreen one when I got my ram and storage but Micro Center ran out ๐
I have Anker 65W and 100W GAN charger and both should work fine with the FW13 although one reviewer reported that a 65W charger (FW's own) cannot keep up with power consumption during intensive tasks so the laptop keeps flipping between AC and battery power. General consensus seems to be get a 100W charger to be safe, especially considering they're not much bigger than 65W ones.
Yes you should, be sure it's has good reviews and is reliable. The stock charger.... huh.... sometimes, just doesn't work. I have to do a whole ritual of disconnecting the USB-C cable or if it is sever, I have to disconnect the power side of as well.
Any chargers that complies with the PD specifications and also supports the major wattage draw from the Framework laptop should do.
