The Anker Prime 100W GaN USB-C Charger (A2343) promises a powerful and compact charging solution for multiple devices. I’ve been using it for the past month, putting it through its paces with a variety of devices, from my MacBook Pro to my iPhone 14 Pro and iPad Pro. This review will delve into its performance, features, and overall value to determine whether it lives up to the hype.

The A2343 boasts a number of impressive features. Its triple-port design (2 USB-C and 1 USB-A) allows for simultaneous charging of multiple devices. The stated 100W max output is particularly appealing, promising fast charging even for power-hungry laptops. The foldable design and surprisingly compact size make it incredibly portable. Anker’s inclusion of GaN technology and ActiveShield 2.0 further enhances the charging efficiency and safety.

In my testing, the Anker Prime 100W GaN charger consistently delivered fast charging speeds. Charging my MacBook Pro from near-empty to full took significantly less time than with my previous charger. Simultaneously charging my iPhone and Apple Watch presented no issues; all devices charged at their optimal speeds. The ActiveShield 2.0 seemed to work well, keeping the charger cool even during extended use. I did notice a slight humming sound under heavy load, but it was hardly noticeable in most situations.

I tested the charger’s compatibility with a range of devices including my Samsung Galaxy S23, a Google Pixel 7, and various other USB-C powered accessories. The charger consistently performed as advertised across different devices and charging scenarios.

The compact and foldable design proved incredibly practical. It easily fits into my laptop bag without taking up excessive space. The build quality feels premium, and the charger seems robust enough to withstand daily use and travel.
