    Description:
    Simplify your home office with Anker's new chargers that can charge
    EVERYTHING from a single plug laptops, phones, headphones and the rest.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    There comes a time in everyones life when they just want more power, specifically more places to plug your phone, laptop, and any other gadget
    into without needing to find a swathe of wall-based power outlets. Enter a quartet of Anker Prime charging devices.

    This foursome of chargers is designed to cover both desktop scenarios, where one needs a hub check full of ports to juice up a menagerie of gadgets, and mobile paper stations, which offer a selection of USB ports and the ability
    to crank out 100 watts of power to charge all but the most demanding
    machines.

    And as icing on the charging cake, theres a new durable USB-C cable that can withstand 300,000 bends despite being made with upcycled materials and ultra-fine copper wires.

    Lets get into the range. (Image credit: Anker)

    Leading the pack is the $249 / 199 (theres no Australian pricing yet) Anker Prime 160W Charging Docking Station . As its name suggests, it offers a combined charging output of 160 watts and a suite of 14 ports, including
    three USB slots for charging, six USBs for data transfer, a gigabit Ethernet port, a full-function upstream port, 3.5mm audio jack, and a pair of HDMI ports capable of outputting 4K resolution at 60Hz.

    On top of all this is an LCD display that can serve up real-time system information. This could be all you need for a do-everything docking station, the only exception being theres no SD card reader. (Image credit: Anker)

    Next up is the $169 / 169 Anker Prime 250W GANPrime Charging Station thats a mouthful, but translated, its a gallium-nitride-based charging station that kicks out a massive 250 watts, has four USB-C and two USB-A ports, and an LCD screen controlled by a twist control button to deliver information on
    charging and control power distribution. (Image credit: Anker)

    The $79 / 79 Anker Prime 200W GaN Charging Station takes the above and squashes it into a compact charging hub with four USB-C and two USB-A ports, which also ditches the display. (Image credit: Anker)

    Finally, for folks who are on the move a lot, the Anker Prime 100W GaN
    Charger is an updated version of the previous Prime charger. Here, it incorporates gallium-nitride tech and the Anker Active Shield 2.0, and according to the brand, its one of the smallest 100W chargers in the world. Plug it into a wall socket, and you get a pair of USB-C ports and one USB-A port to charge a trio of devices in an $84 / 69 charger.

    So, all in all, thats a solid selection of chargers to cover all manner of charging needs, be it mobile or desktop-based. They are available to buy
    today from Anker and Amazon.
