If you’re sick of dealing with tangled wires or your device doesn’t have nearly as many USB ports as you’d like, a fast-charging station can be a convenient solution—and a cleaner alternative to multiple charging bricks. It’s compatible with all kinds of devices, from Apple to Samsung. One of the most reliable options is the Anker Prime Charging Station, now down to $55.99 (originally $79.99).
With a powerful 200W output, it can charge up to six devices at once. Four USB-C ports deliver up to 100W each. For context, that’s enough power to charge two laptops at full speed simultaneously, getting them up to 50% in under half an hour. There are also two USB-A ports, which can be helpful for anyone who still has older devices or smaller accessories. Its sturdy GaN design is compact enough for a desktop, nightstand, or travel setup (it weighs 1.24 pounds, so it’s not the lightest option on the market, but still portable). Thanks to Anker’s temperature monitoring and power protections, the station runs safely without overheating.
Keep in mind that there aren’t any AC outlets, as this is primarily a USB charging hub rather than a power strip. Ultimately, if you regularly charge multiple USB-C laptops, phones, tablets, or other accessories and dread a cluttered desktop, the Anker Prime Charging Station is a highly useful option.
