If you’re looking to replace a big pile of wall adapters with just one brick, then the Anker 6-Port Desktop Charger is right up your alley. It combines three USB-C and three USB-A ports into a single plug that delivers up to 112W of power. You also get a helpful silicone cable organizer that keeps your cords from tangling while they’re plugged into the charger.
Amazon has the Anker 6-Port Desktop Charger at $34 right now, down from the $40 list price. That comes to $6 or around 15% off.
A reliable gadget to help keep your devices charging in one place
If you’re looking to consolidate your chargers, this is the one to buy. Every time you get a new device, it adds to the number of chargers you need to keep plugged in (if they even bother to include one). However, pretty much everything runs off USB these days, so you don’t need to keep a jenga stack of them plugged in all the time. This Anker charger gives you six ports and only takes up one wall outlet, so you can finally ditch that rats’ nest of adapters.
Power is shared intelligently across the ports rather than split evenly. One USB-C port delivers enough wattage to charge a MacBook Air to half in about an hour and forty minutes, while a separate port handles a phone quickly, taking an iPhone from empty to 50% in roughly half an hour. When fewer devices are plugged in, more of the 112-watt budget goes to each one, so a single laptop charges faster than it would with all six ports occupied.
The mix of three USB-C and three USB-A ports matters because not all devices have fully moved to USB-C yet. Newer phones, laptops, and tablets use USB-C, while older accessories, e-readers, and peripherals still use USB-A. Having both means you don’t have to buy adapter cables to charge older gear alongside new gear.
GaN is the component technology that lets a 112-watt charger stay this compact. Older silicon-based chargers at this power level ran larger and hotter, while gallium nitride handles the same output in a smaller, cooler-running body that sits flat on a desk without a fan or significant heat.
The 18-month warranty is longer than the one-year coverage common on charging accessories, and it comes from a brand whose charging hardware is widely used and supported. Anker’s safety system monitors temperature and regulates current to each port, which protects connected devices from overheating or drawing more power than they should.
At $34 on Amazon, down from $40, this is a small discount in dollar terms but a useful one on an item that quietly removes outlet clutter from a desk. A single charger handling a laptop, phone, and tablet at once is the kind of practical upgrade that replaces three adapters with one and frees up the outlets they occupied.
