Modern homes never seem to have enough outlets and dragging around multiple chargers for your laptop, phone, and tablet turns every trip into a cable management nightmare. The Anker 735 charger solves this frustration by consolidating everything into a single 65-watt, three-port wall charger that’s compact enough to toss in your bag without thinking twice.
Amazon just dropped it to an all-time low of $25 (down from $39), and at this price, you can finally retire that collection of mismatched charging bricks cluttering your nightstand.
Why Three Ports and 65 Watts Changes Everything
The 65-watt output makes the difference because it’s the optimal level for powering current laptops full-speed. A MacBook Pro 13-inch takes just 61 watts for best-possible charging speed and this charger provides it with headroom to go around when you’re only using a single outlet. Most cell phone chargers only go 20 watts and lower-end multi-port chargers frequently only go 30-45 total watts which makes you decide between charging your laptop fast and powering other devices.
When you plug three devices at once, the power distribution system of the charger automatically distributes wattage intelligently according to the requirement of each device. Plug in your laptop, smartphone, and tablet, and the charger automatically varies the output of each port, favoring the device capable of accepting the highest power but still making the rest charge at decent rates.
Addition of PPS support is just one of the technical features that significantly boosts charging efficiency and compatibility. PPS enables the charger to exchange information directly with your device and make real-time adjustments to voltage as opposed to fixed voltage steps. This translates into fewer heat emissions, higher charging speeds and better long-term battery life. Devices such as Galaxy smartphones and the latest iPhones fully benefit from PPS to reach their claimed fast-charging speeds, and you would be limited to lower charging rates even with the higher-wattage charger without it.
GaN II technology is what allows this charger to pack 65 watts into a package roughly the size of an AirPods Pro case. Traditional silicon-based chargers require much larger components to handle high wattage without overheating. Gallium nitride operates at higher frequencies and temperatures with better efficiency, meaning the components can be smaller and packed more densely without thermal issues. The second generation of GaN technology in this charger improves upon the original by increasing operating frequency by 100%.
The three-port configuration includes two USB-C ports and one USB-A port and covers both newer and legacy devices. Most modern laptops, tablets, and phones use USB-C, but plenty of accessories like wireless earbuds, smartwatches, and older devices still rely on USB-A. Having that USB-A port available means you don’t need to carry adapters or separate chargers for those holdout devices that haven’t made the USB-C transition yet.
At $25, this charger is cheaper than purchasing two standard phone chargers individually, but it replaces your laptop charger, phone charger, and tablet charger with the same device.
