Six devices at once, 200 watts, and GaN technology. The Anker Prime charger is discounted to 1,751 CZK

Rummaging through a power strip with eight adapters while charging and looking for where to plug in yet another USB-C cable for your laptop is one of the less glamorous activities of home life. The Anker Prime Charger 200W is now on Alza for 1,751 CZK after applying the code ALZADNY20 (originally 2,189 CZK). For this price, you get a power hub that will tidy up cable clutter and provide 200 W of total power for charging a laptop, two phones, headphones, and a watch simultaneously.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you have a workstation with multiple devices on your desk or if you travel and want one charger instead of four. Additionally, the detachable power cable (C7) can be swapped for a local version when traveling.
⚠️ Consider that a maximum of 100 W per port might not be enough for the most demanding laptops — some models support higher power input. And when using multiple ports, the total power of 200 W will logically be divided.
💡 For 1,751 CZK, you get six ports (4× USB-C up to 100 W and 2× USB-A), GaN technology, MultiProtect and ActiveShield 3.0 safety systems, Power IQ 3.0, and UL and CB certifications.

Why choose Anker

One thing is repeated in reviews — Anker as a brand has a long-standing reputation, and users return to it for chargers. Several reviewers state that it’s their “second, third, or fourth” Anker charger and that they have nothing to complain about. Robust build quality, a metal body, and a weight of over half a kilogram prevent the charger from sliding across the table when you plug in a stiffer cable — one reviewer described it as “a nice piece of iron that will sit firmly.” GaN technology allows for high power in a compact casing while keeping the charger cool — another user praised it for being “extremely cool” even under load and having no fear of it literally burning out.

A practical detail that travelers will appreciate — the power cable is a detachable C7 (2-pin) type, so when traveling abroad, you just need to swap it for a local version and don’t have to deal with a universal adapter.

What to consider

A fair criticism — the maximum power per port is 100 W, which is sufficient for most laptops, including 14″ MacBook Pros, but you won’t be able to fully power the most powerful models with 140W charging. And the total 200 W will be divided when all ports are fully utilized, so when simultaneously charging a laptop and two phones, the laptop will not receive the full 100 W — which is standard behavior for all multi-port chargers. One Slovak user in a review points out a peculiarity — when you connect a 5V device (like headphones or a watch) to a USB-C port, the other USB-C port will limit the maximum power, so combining a laptop and headphones on one charger requires a bit of planning where to plug what in.

Another minor disadvantage — the charger has no hanging holes, so you can only place it flat on a tabletop. For some, this will be an irrelevant detail, for others, a minus.

How many devices do you charge daily at your desk — and how many chargers do you have plugged in because of it?
