Anker Prime Charging Station, 240W 8-in-1 Power Strip, 2 AC, 4 USB C

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.

Fantastic charger, runs my laptop, S25 ultra, Garmin watch and anything else simultaneously. Can track power usage and adjust the profiles of the ports for priority.

The Anker prime charging station is fantastic and easy to use. First off it’s listed as not for travel probably due to the weight which is about a pound, but we use it when driving and traveling to older bed and breakfasts that do not have many outlets. This lets us plug up all our phones and tablets in one spot. It has a built-in search protector so I actually use it around the house as well to charge up our devices, game, controllers, and headphones. I really like that it shows you how much wattage is being drawn by each device hooked up to USB – C. There are four USB-C slots, two regular grounded, plugs, and some of the older USB slots on the sides. The device has been very reliable and works great.

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.
