I love traveling with this Anker 160W charger, which has 3 USB-C ports.[0] I just found out about GaN technology last year and I can't believe it isn't more widespread. This one can charge two MacBook Pros and an iPhone at full speed.

- porridgeraisin 3mo agoGan chargers also die really fast.
- superxpro12 3mo agoIt's because they try to market the power density claims. So they're smaller, which compromises the cooling, which makes them run hotter.
- porridgeraisin 3mo agoYep, I gave up on them for now. One of my older laptops also needs a charger that has the third ground pin, lest the trackpad become laggy due to electrical joise. I couldn't find a compact gan charger with a three pin plug and the third actually being connected to ground.
- mcv 3mo agoI recently got the Anker 140W. I bought a MacBook, and apparently they come without a charger these days. So instead of buying an expensive Mac charger, I figured the widely recommended Anker 140W offers a lot more functionality for less money.
