A few years ago I found myself doing a lot of travel, and packing chargers for my laptop, phone, Kindle and everything else was a continual hassle. When I figured out I could replace all of them with a single high-wattage GaN wall charger, it made my life so much simpler and easier.
I’ve been using Anker products for over 13 years now, and I can’t think of any of the electric ones that have ever failed—my phone is sitting next to my desk on an Anker charger connected to an Anker USB hub, and my (Dell) monitors are connected via an Anker docking station, all of which I bought myself. If I were replacing my travel wall charger today, the one I’d choose first is the Anker 160W Prime Charger during Prime Big Deal Days.
Anker’s charger has three USB-C ports and unlike most similar chargers, any one can output up to 140 watts, which means you don’t have to worry about plugging into the wrong one and having your laptop run out of battery. I love the bright touchscreen interface, because these things are usually plugged in where they are hard to see. The plug folds in for travel, making the whole thing less than 2.5 inches on the largest side, a fraction of the size of any laptop charger.
I’m not the only one who thinks Anker products are the class of the industry: “This is the crème de la creme,” says Chaz’s review. “…You’re done looking.” Another says it’s, “Surprisingly small but packs in the features.”
If you want to simplify to one charger that has enough juice to fast charge your phone, run a laptop and is literally small enough to slip into your pocket, grab an Anker 160W Prime Charger while the sale lasts.
