Quick Answer

The Anker Prime 67W GaN Wall Charger can power a laptop and a phone simultaneously, or charge two phones and a tablet at full speed, thanks to its three ports and smart power distribution.

Understanding the 67W Power Budget

The charger's total 67W output is shared among the two USB-C ports and one USB-A port. When you plug in a power-hungry device like a laptop, the charger automatically allocates more wattage to that port, leaving the remaining power for smaller devices. This dynamic distribution means you won't max out every port at once, but you can reliably charge a combination that matches your daily routine.

Trade-Offs to Consider

While the 67W output is enough for most ultrabooks and thin-and-light laptops, it may not fully charge a high-performance gaming laptop or a 16-inch MacBook Pro at peak speed. In those cases, the laptop will still charge but at a slower rate. Similarly, if you connect three devices, the USB-A port may deliver less power than the USB-C ports, so prioritize your fastest-charging devices on the USB-C ports.

How to Maximize Your Anker Prime 67W Charger

  1. Identify Your Primary Device: Plug the device that needs the most power (e.g., a laptop) into a USB-C port. The charger will automatically allocate up to 67W to that port if no other device is connected. Common mistake: Plugging a phone into the USB-C port first may limit laptop charging speed. Always start with your highest-power device.
  2. Add a Second Device: Connect a phone or tablet to the remaining USB-C port. The charger will split power between the two ports, typically giving the laptop around 45W and the second device 20W. Checkpoint: If your laptop charges slowly, disconnect the second device temporarily to restore full 67W output.
  3. Use the USB-A Port for Accessories: For a third device like earbuds, a smartwatch, or an older phone, use the USB-A port. This port delivers lower power, so avoid using it for fast charging a primary device. Common mistake: Expecting USB-A to charge a modern phone as fast as USB-C. It will work, but at standard speeds.
