As I’m going about my day, I typically have at least three things on my person that have a battery in them. I’ve got my phone in my pocket, a smartwatch on my wrist, and a pair of headphones on my ears. I might even be walking around with a laptop or tablet too. And since all these devices run on battery, they eventually need to be plugged in.
Having a single adapter that can handle charging multiple devices at once is such an upgrade to the alternative that is a tangle of power bricks and cables scattered across a desk or nightstand. This Anker MacBook Pro Charger has four separate ports for charging several devices simultaneously and right now, Amazon has it on sale for 28% off. Normally, you’d find this selling for $90, but the deal has brought it down to just $65. You end up saving $25 for a limited time.
Among the four ports on the front of this Anker charger are three USB-C slots and one USB-A slot. When used individually, you’ll be able to achieve charging speeds of 140W on either of the first two USB-C ports or 40W on the third. The USB-A on its own can handle up to 33W.
Fast Charging
If you’re using more than one port at once, the power delivery gets divvied up. It’s different for whether you’re using two three, or four at a time. When all are fully in use, you can expect 65W on the first USB-C, 42W on the second, 12W on the third, and then 12W on the USB-A. You can prioritize which device you plug where based on the maximum charging speed it can handle as well as which currently has lower battery, needing the boost more.
With USB-C and USB-A support, you can power a number of everyday electronics ranging from laptops like Chromebooks or MacBooks to phones including both Samsung and iPhones, to gaming handhelds like a Nintendo Switch of Steam Deck.
The top of the adapter is kitted out with an LCD screen which can provide you with real time data regarding your charging devices. You can set it to display a breakdown of how much power each port is delivering to view at a glance.
The Anker charger is designed for easy travel, as the prongs are able to fold in and avoid catching on other things in your pocket or bag.
