Description:
This compact 160W GaN charger from Anker combines high output with a pocketable design to power laptops, tablets and phones while travelling or working remotely. It offers up to 140W from a single USB-C port for fast laptop charging and includes a smart display with touch controls to monitor and adjust output in real time, making it practical for mixed-device setups.
Key Points
The charger is roughly the size of an AirPods Pro case according to the manufacturer, which makes it easy to pack alongside a laptop and accessories. It delivers a total of 160W across three USB-C ports and can sustain 140W on one port without derating, so a 16-inch MacBook Pro can reach around 50% charge in approximately 25 minutes when using the high-power port. The unit supports intelligent power allocation with PowerIQ 5.0, allowing simultaneous charging of a laptop, phone and tablet with efficient distribution.

Benefits
Having one charger that replaces multiple adapters reduces the clutter in a bag and lightens what you carry on trips. The smart display lets you see current power delivery at a glance and change modes via touch, which can be useful when you want to prioritise a laptop or balance charging between devices. App connectivity unlocks custom profiles so you can tailor behaviour for different device combinations or charging priorities.
Usage Recommendations
Use a high-quality USB-C cable rated for the charger’s maximum power to reach the 140W single-port speed for compatible laptops. For mixed charging scenarios, the PowerIQ 5.0 distribution will handle allocation automatically, however consider connecting the most power-hungry device to the highest-capacity port when speed is important. Note that cables are not included, and the fast-charge times quoted are according to the manufacturer and may vary depending on the device, battery condition and ambient temperature.
