Anker Prime 100W USB C GaN Charger, 3-Port Compact Fast PPS Charger, for MacBook Pro/Air, Pixelbook, iPad, iPhone 16/Pro, Galaxy S23/S22, Note20, Pixel, Apple Watch, and More

I've used Anker chargers for years, and have always appreciated (1) their speed, (2) their versatility and (3) their reliability. This charger is no exception. I bought an iPhone 15 Pro with the USB-C connection, so I needed a new charger for the phone. Apple no longer provides chargers for the iPhones, so I started looking for a good, fast charger. I did my research and once again concluded that the best solution is Anker, this particular Anker charger. I like it because (1) it's fast and (2) it uses the new GaN technology to make it more compact. It also has the folding plug, convenient for travel purposes. For many years, people have had the habit of plugging their cell phones in at night, and letting them charge all night long. And although there are supposed to be protections against overcharging on the iPhones, it's now a generally accepted fact that you shouldn't continue to charge them after they've hit 100%. There is even an new option for the phone to stop being charged at 80%, to protect against overcharging. My solution is to plug in my iPhone when I first get up, and then let it charge while I'm getting ready for the day. Otherwise I don't charge the phone again until the following morning. With this rapid charger, I generally have close to 100% charge by the time I am ready for the day, and it doesn't get overcharged. I also like that it charges multiple devices and has one of the old USB-A ports for older devices. Also, it seems that lots of people want to buy only Apple products, including their chargers. But in my opinion, there is no need for always 100% Apple everywhere. You're fine with third-party products such as those produced by Anker. In conclusion, if you want a fast, mult-port charger, get this one. You won't be disappointed.

Hardware used in testing: Power adapter: Anker Prime 100W USB C Charger A2343 Cable: Anker USB C Cable 100W 10ft A8758011 Wattmeter: YOJOCK USB C Tester J7-c Laptop: Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 82WK0048US BIOS Revision: KWCN42WWW, 9/15/2023 (latest version as of writing) My findings: Charging the laptop at 45% results in the following readout from the USB wattmeter: 18.63 volts, 4.770 amps, and 88.87 watts. Windows also reports the laptop as charging which is good. In the past, I have found that Macbook chargers will charge the laptop slowly even though Windows does not properly detect that it is charging. Plugging in my phone (Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra) to the GaN charger while my laptop was plugged in, I saw the power draw drop to 61.5 watts on the laptop while the phone charged at 20.4 watts. The phone reported that it was 'Super Fast Charging,' but it was already at 70% during testing so it seems like it was not charging at full speed due to already being at a high charge. The overall process was very seamless and I am very happy with the results. I did not notice any dropping of the charging connection on the laptop when I plugged in my phone. The Anker charger seems to get quite hot in my few minutes of testing. So hot that it hurts to touch for more than a couple of seconds near the base. This testing was all performed with 'Rapid Charge' enabled on the Lenovo Legion. UPDATE: I ran some more testing, and it seems that when the laptop is under a significant enough load in dGPU mode, the USB-C charging drops out altogether. Testing with Furmark, I found that the laptop stopped receiving power after about 15 seconds or so. It stops charging completely while under load. I do not believe this is a fault of the Anker power adapter, it is just how the laptop works. This was tested with Normal charging mode while on Auto power mode. It also happens when on Quiet power mode. I also tried plugging the laptop straight into the power brick without the wattmeter, and it exhibited exactly the same behavior. I could not get this behavior to replicate on iGPU mode no matter what I threw at the system. So it seems that with this charger, if your power draw exceeds about 90-ish watts, charging drops completely until the load is reduced. This is not a big deal for me, as I will just use the 300W Lenovo charger when I'm gaming or using heavy 3D applications. Conclusion: The laptop seems to work excellently with the Anker Prime 100W GaN charger. I only have the one laptop to test it and I know that Lenovo Legions are very very picky when it comes to USB charging, but I can say for sure that this cable and this charger work great with the 82WK0048US as long as you only use it for tasks like web browsing, movies, or light games.

I was on a business trip and in the meeting I pulled out my Dell charger while my coworker brought out the Ankur charger. "I need that" I thought to myself and ordered one after that meeting. It works as advertised. Enough power to charge my laptop and phone at the same time. Much smaller than the charger that came with my laptop and it's nice to carry 1 wall charger instead of 2 or 3. I originally used it with my older Dell and had purchased a USB-C to barrel adaptor charger for that laptop. It worked fine. For my new laptop I use an Ankur USB-C cable or my iPhone USB-C cable. Both work. And for charging my iPhone, airpods, iPad, or my Samsung device the charging is quick.

Anker makes an excellent charger once again! This new Anker Prime 100W is very similar to the 737 GaN Prime charger they made last year, with some tweaks and one notable improvement. First the improvement - The one 'new' thing I noticed is on the prongs there is a small black wrap around the bases. I'm not confident on the purpose, but it seems like the thickness helps keep the unit inside of the outlet. This charger does not come with the octopus-like grip accessory the 737 - I never really liked the grip add-on because it took up a lot of space, so this is a great improvement. Other than that, it's another GaN product from Anker and all the things you'd expect hold true - high quality feel and fast charging in a small package. The primary changes between this one and the most similar one from last year (Anker 737) is the change in total output and the size. Previously there was a 120W max and this unit has a 100W max output, and the new Anker Prime 100W is much smaller. For me the size reduction is definitely worth the loss of the extra 20W of output, especially since the max one-port speed has the same 100W max. My fifth image on this review is a size comparison between this unit and the 120W 737. I've ran a few tests between the two chargers using the new Anker 737 Power Bank (sidenote, the reuse of numbers across product lines is quite annoying), and the results were very similar. Both chargers delivered ~78W of power to the battery when one cord was plugged in, and ~58W of power when a phone was plugged in to the second USB-A port. Overall, this 100W Anker Prime charger is an excellent buy - much smaller than most other high powered chargers and excellent build quality!

hasn't failed since I bought it. charging my phone, powering a usb-c powered display, and a beard trimmer cable to charge said beard trimmer. it just works. doesn't overheat. doesn't fail. cannot complain.

They are good charger. I cannot review any electrical testing whether they provide good signals and efficient. However, from reading from those who performed testing electrically, this 100W adaptor has good review in that regard. From charging power, this is very good. I can charge 65W laptop and Pixel Pro at the same time without any issue in any order of which device is plugged in first into the USB-C ports. The other 100W GaN charger is finnicky about which one needed to be plugged in first otherwise the unit will not give enough to charge both at the same time. This unit does this flawlessly. From usability, the unit is a bit bulky not in term of volume but its shape. It is still considered small for 100W charger. But it is more cube shape all around rather than rectangle (flatter on one side) thus it can be bulky to pack for traveling. I do not mean this is not small enough to pack. It is small enough but I just wich it is a bit thinner on one side. I can understand the benefit of this as it make the unit a bit shorter from the wall or plug. That is great for stability when cables are plugged in and hang from it against the wall plug. Second, I would like to see some form of light when it is plugged in or during active charging. Every time I use it to change and plug it into an outlet it does give good feeling that it is working. Of course, you can see charing condition on your phones for certain but the moment you give the power source to the unit you do not feel any feedback that it receives power. I understand that many chargers that come with phones (used to be) do not have any light during its operation but to me for this scale of power and price a bit of user experience during usage can get the product more impressive a knot or two. My the other older 100W GaN does have a light when you plug in. That feels good to see. With the price point that is now at 30% less than the original price point this unit is a good buy in my opinion. I really like to give it 5 star rating but with those small things takes a star off. Still, I have no problem getting another one at this point in time for this price without a hesitation.

This charger is one of my favourite things I own. It's unbelievably compact so it travels fabulously. It has ample power available that pretty much any business machine can run off of, and has enough spaces for you to charge a chromebook, a tablet, and a phone at the same time. It provides more power than the power supply that came with my work computer at less weight and a way smaller size. It's literally the best charger I have ever owned. A bit pricey, but totally worth the money... The convenience of being able to charge the laptop without lugging a huge power block (and the cord) around is outstanding. The smart technology in the charger makes it essential that you CHECK DEVICE COMPATIBILITY before you purchase - so far no issues with 2 Samsung phones, a Samsung tablet, and an HP Elitebook.

Each USB-C port delivers up to 100W, which means I can charge my laptop from 0 to 50% in just 30 minutes. Even when using multiple ports, the power distribution is smart and efficient, no lag, no overheating. With two USB-C ports and one USB-A, I can charge my laptop, phone, and earbuds simultaneously. This charger is really smaller than any other multiport charger, and the foldable prongs make it super easy to toss in a bag or pocket. It’s lightweight but feels solid and well-built. ActiveShield 2.0 tech monitors temperature and power output in real time. I’ve noticed it stays cool even during heavy use, which gives me peace of mind when charging expensive devices.

Its the best travel charger I have ever used. This is my last and only Travel Charger. Do make sure to pick up adapters for the charging standard in the country you are visiting. Small, plenty of power delivery, perfect amount of ports and port variety for me. Top USB-A port is great, many older devices still use it (22.5W max). Both the USB-C ports can reach 100W when charging a SINGLE device. When using both USB-C ports at the same time, the middle USB-C port can go up to 65W and the bottom USB-C port can go up to 35W. USB-A and main USB-C together will go to a max of 22.5W and 76W respectively. The charger can renegotiate any combination to a combined 100W across the three ports with the maximum limits I mentioned above. Power renegotiation WILL interrupt delivery very briefly but zero other chargers in this size can do this. Gets hot under sustained load for long periods but thats the nature of its small form and GaN chargers, do not let that scare you. Obviously dont let children touch it when hot.

I've used this excellent little (but powerful) charger for over a year now. It's somewhat heavy and can sometimes fall out of the outlet if you're not careful. Otherwise a solid feeling and performing charging block. No complaints.

There's really not much that needs to be said, as it's exactly as Anker advertised. I had the 65W version and was so impressed with that that I decided to get the 100W version as well, which is slightly heavier and larger than the 65W. That said, I can charge two 45W laptops and a phone off this charger compared to the 65W version, which is incredible given two of the 65W adapters required for the laptops and phone would likely have been more than 1.5x the size and weight of this charger, more than double if it were any other 65W charger. I have also had an Aergiatech 100W charger with 3 USB-C ports and a single USB-A that was probably 1.6x the size and 1.2x the weight, and while I prefer the 3 ports on it I still gravitate to this Anker since it's easier to tote around. Between these two I have 200W across 5 USB-C ports and 2 USB-A, which is enough for all my travel needs. I may eventually replace the Aergiatech with another one of these though!
