Anker Prime Charging Station, 240W 8-in-1 USB-C Power Strip

I love this thing... So much so that I bought and extra one for myself to travel with, another for my niece going to college, and another two for my best friends... I combined this with a 240W USB-C cable to power my MacBook Pro and it makes a power brick for my laptop unnecessary... Love the ability to see what's charging where and how much... I initially bought this as a travel device, and at first I thought I wouldn't use it for travel because the power supply is so large... But it's so versatile and useful the large and heavy power supply it's worth the weight and size... The Cord length is great... And the Charging Speed is absolutely fantastic... The convenience of being able to charge multiple devices off of one charger is fantastic and keeps everything nicely organized on my desk...

Amazing! I use it all the time

By far the best charging station I have ever purchased. Let's me check on the progress of items that are charging and has two outlets. Very useful.

The Anker Prime 240W Charging Station to streamline my desk setup, and it is an absolute beast. Between my MacBook, phone, and all my content creation gear, I need a serious power solution. The charging capacity is incredible. It handles everything effortlessly. The selection of USB ports is exactly what a modern setup needs. You get four USB-C and two USB-A ports right on the front. I can fast-charge multiple devices at the exact same time without any drop in speed. The two AC outlets on top are also perfect for plugging in a monitor or a larger power brick. Cable management is usually a headache. This station makes organization completely painless. It features a great flat profile that sits flush and secure. It looks sleek sitting next to my Alienware monitor instead of looking like a messy, traditional power strip. Installation was completely straightforward. The 5-foot detachable extension cord gives you plenty of slack to route the plug perfectly behind your desk. You just set it up, plug it in, and you are good to go. When it comes to reliability, it delivers consistent power without ever getting too hot. Keep in mind that this is strictly a desktop accessory and not meant for travel. I will definitely be leaving it on my desk when I head to Paris later this summer. If you want a clean, high-performance charging hub for your home workspace, this is entirely worth the money.

Why buy this? Everyone has a multitude of AC and USB plugs existing all around them. I agree with that. But here’s a use case scenario that might give you a similar idea. I sometimes do video editing in bed on my MacBook Pro. I sometimes, well often, have a couple of hard drives, a hub, a usb powered cooler and so on. All these things need power. I plop this Anker power station on my bed after plugging it in (that’s only one cord for power). Everything I use around me including my laptop, iPad and phone gets power from this Anker brick and I need not reach or look for more wall plugs or usb plugs for power. You plug this in and it brings you half your town’s hydro station right close beside you. Useful in a hotel surely and just anywhere you have allot of stuff that needs to be plugged in to operate or charge up. I like mine and use it often. It can run a bit warm when on heavy load, but Anker did a decent job in the design to control it. Recommended.
