Could be better

- No PPS profile labeling on the unit itself — you guess which port is fastest
Full Review
The Anker Prime 200W is the charger I now recommend for almost every desk setup in 2026. One outlet, one brick, six ports — laptop, tablet, phone, earbuds, Kindle, and a backup battery all live on the same power source. The desk gets cleaner and the wall stays sane.
Power Delivery That Actually Holds Up
Two USB-C ports can each push 100W simultaneously, which means a MacBook Pro 16 and an iPad Pro can both fast-charge at full speed without negotiating. Add a phone and earbuds on the remaining ports and the brick still has headroom. The 200W ceiling is a shared budget across all six ports, so plugging in three power-hungry laptops at once will drop each one to a slower profile — but for a realistic desk load (one laptop plus accessories), it never throttles.
Build and Footprint
GaN technology is the reason this thing isn’t the size of a textbook. The unit is roughly the footprint of a deck of playing cards stood on its end, with the AC cord on the back and all six ports on the front. It runs warm under heavy load but never hot, and the matte black finish disappears behind a monitor or on a side shelf.
How It Compares
The UGREEN Nexode 100W is half the price but only enough for one laptop — no room for a second device at full speed. Apple’s $99 70W charger is single-port and slower than the Anker on every metric except premium feel. The closest true competitor is Anker’s own 250W model with the LCD display, but unless you want the per-port wattage readout, the 200W version is the smarter buy. It hits roughly $56 on sale several times a year, which makes the value lopsided.
Who Should Buy This
Anyone whose desk has more than two devices that charge over USB. If you have a laptop, a phone, and at least one tablet or pair of earbuds, this replaces three wall warts and a tangle of cables with a single brick. Skip it only if your setup is laptop-only — a 100W single-port charger will do that job for half the price.
