Using a Lenovo C140 GaN Instead of the Original 67W Apple Charger for a 14” M1 Pro MacBook Pro

I’m considering using a Lenovo C140 charger instead of the original 67W Apple charger for my 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro chip.

The Lenovo charger is significantly cheaper while offering a higher power output. Would this be a good choice for long-term use? Are there any potential downsides in terms of charging performance, battery health, safety, or hardware longevity compared to using the original Apple charger?

I’ll be using an original USB-C to MagSafe cable. I’m curious whether Apple’s charger has any special advantages that justify its much higher price despite the lower wattage.
