Industry observers note that that pretty much matches its all-time best price of $47.48, off by only a buck and change. If your wall outlet or power strip is overcrowded with USB power adapters, here’s a smart way to clear it out: Anker’s 100W 3-Port GaN Charger is on sale for $49.99 at Amazon, down from $69.99.
According to the latest update, when multiple ports are being used, the 100W is shared between them at different proportions depending on which exact ports are used. At 100W, it’s fast enough to charge most laptops, plus phones and tablets. This GaN charger basically smooshes three power adapters into one, offering two USB-C ports and one USB-A, with a maximum 100W through either USB-C when used alone while the USB-A caps out at 33W.
According to the latest update, that’s newer Gallium Nitride tech, which allows the charger to be faster and smaller while being more efficient with energy and putting out less heat. It measures just 2.72 x 2.17 x 1.34 inches with foldable prongs for easy travel, and it comes with a fast 100W USB-C cable included. And there’s a nifty display on front that shows real-time charging status at a glance. What does it mean to be a GaN charger?
According to the latest update, anker’s 140W charger is a better fit for that, as it can keep providing 100W even while other ports are used—and this one’s also on sale, now $64.99 down from $89.99. One honest note before you buy: If you’re mainly getting this as a laptop charger but intend to charge other devices while your laptop is plugged in, you might want to level up.
As part of the ongoing story, grab it now for $49.99 before this “limited time deal” expires. Otherwise, the 100W 3-port option is a solid value and cheaper overall.
