Enhancing a home workspace often involves more than just new computers or furniture; consider swapping out traditional extension cords for a modern charging hub. The Anker Prime 240W model stands out by supporting simultaneous power delivery to as many as eight gadgets, and it currently offers the best deal yet at $90, reflecting a 31% reduction.
Beyond its appealing design, the unit provides substantial utility by consolidating charging needs without the bulk of a conventional eight-outlet extension. It features two AC sockets, each equipped with an independent toggle for powering larger items such as displays, alongside four USB-C connectors positioned along the base and two USB-A options on the adjacent side.
Such ports accommodate a wide range of items including smartphones, tablets, computers, wireless headphones, input devices, and similar peripherals—all powered concurrently. The system delivers a maximum combined output of 240 watts, with each USB-C port reaching up to 140 watts to handle demanding devices like laptops, and USB-A ports providing up to 12 watts for less intensive accessories. In scenarios with several ports active, the device allocates the total wattage optimally for balanced performance.
The compact form factor measures 5.43 by 3.07 by 0.71 inches, complemented by a slim design and a removable five-foot cord, making it convenient for transport during trips. This combination of features positions it as a strong choice, particularly with the ongoing 31% price cut.
