Anker GaN Prime 240W (3C1A) (Amazon link) (AliExpress link)
Key product benefits:

  • Incredible 240W of total supplied power can easily charge powerful laptops, smartphones, and other USB devices simultaneously at full speed!

  • Independent UsbC1 port (140W) without power sharing.
  • UsbC1 port supports modern AVS protocol

  • Power IQ 4.0 technology for seamless redistributing excessive power budget among ports without power interruption between connected devices during plug-in/out.

  • Relatively compact and heavy (which means a more powerful heatsink inside) which is beneficial for desk chargers.
  • Very good idle power consumption (around 0.15W)
  • Power factor correction.
  • Premium materials and excellent design
  • impressive thick AC cord and reliable connection with charger.
  • Energy conversion efficiency around 90% (even at 25% of load)
  • Weight: 539g(only brick), 663g (with AC cable)
Product drawbacks:

  • The top UsbC1 port might be picky to some EPR cables. I have one (out of 6) cable which is an e-maker chip PD3.1 EPR which was not recognized by this port.
