If you’re looking for an easy way to free up cable clutter both at your desk and on the road, this Anker 140W four-port GaN charger is down to $65, a savings of $25. It’s a great deal on its own, but the included 5-foot 240W USB-C cable makes the deal even sweeter, since similar cables sell for $10-$15.
This speedy Anker block replaces up to four separate chargers. There are three USB-C ports and one USB-A port available, and they can all run at the same time. The top two USB-C ports can each hit 140W at their peak, which is enough to fast-charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro, not just the smaller Air. That matters if you’re powering a laptop alongside a phone and tablet, so you’re not sacrificing charging speed on the device that needs it most.
When all ports are in use, the top C-port will be able to hit 65W charging, which is still enough for laptops, while the second caps out at 45W, and the last Type-C port and the A-port can deliver a maximum of 12W each.
GaN construction keeps the footprint smaller than older charger designs at this wattage. Since this is a four-port charger, however, you shouldn’t expect this to be a tiny travel-sized model. It has a size to match, and that’s perfectly ok. For a desk setup or a packed travel bag where you’re replacing several chargers, that tradeoff makes sense.
At $65, the Anker 140W charger is a great value, and it can easily replace a full drawer of chargers—and a couple of cables too.
