Anker Charger Compact Pixelbook ThinkPad Reviews Summary

Charging Performance

Pros:

• "The Anker USB C Charger is a game-changer for MacBook and iPhone users. Its lightning-fast charging, compact design, and compatibility with USB-C devices make it a must-have."
• "Charges my MacBook Pro just as fast if not faster than before and it does not get boiling hot."
• "100 W is more than enough to charge any device I have and it’s so freaking small!"
• "It has 3 plugs and charges my computer and phone faster than the standard issue block."
• "Quick charger and can handle some of the most demanding charging tasks."
• "This correctly supplies power on the 9V profile (which means it'll power a HomePod Mini) so I can have my phone, HomePod Mini, and laptop or another phone plugged in all at once."
• "Delivers very fast charging of compatible phones, also with 220v in Europe with plug adapter."

Cons:

• "It doesn't seem to work at all when using more than one port with a laptop."
• "Doesn't charge as it was advertised too....took 3 hrs to charge one DJI AIR 3 battery."
• "Then comes the charging speed: close to 3 hours to charge an iPhone 13 Pro."
• "Only problem I had is the charging speed."
• "For a charging brick as expensive as this one, very disappointed it lasted less than a year."
• "It cannot charge my Dell Precision 5570 at full power since this is a 120 W max charger and the Dell comes with a 130 W USB-C wall charger."
• "This charger only charges one device at a time. No matter what I'm charging if I plug in another device it will charge only one of them."

Design and Portability

Pros:

• "It's smaller than the stock charger from the MacBook Pro, which is very appreciated."
• "I like the white and grey colors. I also like how it feels in the hand. It is sturdy and made of very high quality."
• "Much smaller and lighter that the best model two years ago giving up only 1 C connection."
• "It's much lighter and more compact than the AC adapter, so it's great for the road."
• "Smaller than my charger from Apple, AND it can take care of all my USB charging needs in one, compact charger."
• "The flip up plug prongs make it easy to transport."
• "Plug folds into charger for compact travel size."

Cons:

• "The charger is great and compact but if you want to plug it straight to the wall, you will have the same issues you have with the larger chargers."
• "A little heavier than I expected but not bad. Folding AC plug makes it easy to pack."
• "This is poorly designed -it's heavy and unbalanced - it falls out of every outlet I have tried - it's annoying."
• "It's not that much smaller than my original Apple 96 Watt charger, but it is smaller. They weigh about the same--pretty heavy."
• "It gets hot and it is too heavy for the outlets."
• "Also, even if the item is smaller than the OEM charger, it's noticeably heavier, making the 'better for travel' feature pointless as well."
• "It is pretty dense, so it's a little heavier than you might expect, but totally worth it."

Reliability and Customer Service

Pros:

• "Worked fine for 8-9 months; now it no longer charges any computer."
• "It worked perfectly during 1 year. Today, it's dead all of sudden. Anker CS team replied very quickly through weekend. They sent the replacement after checking my order information. It was very good experience."
• "got an email from Anker shortly thereafter asking me what happened…I explained… they immediately asked if I’d like one of these as a free replacement."
• "EDIT: Anker reached out and replaced my charger. I received it very quickly. Quality customer service, so gave them back a star!"
• "Update- Anker reached out to me and sent another charger after the problems with the first unit."
• "Excellent customer service."
• "Anker support reached out and were not able to offer a replacement, but did offer a refund."

Cons:

• "After a few months of light use, the item stopped working properly."
• "For a charging brick as expensive as this one, very disappointed it lasted less than a year."
• "I’ve had 2 of these chargers and both had the same issue."
• "But in less than 1-year one of the usbc ports died."
• "Randomly died 1.72 years into its life."
• "This was a great device and charged our devices 100% perfectly for the first 3 months - unfortunately, after the return window closed, this charging block is no longer operational and is now just a heavy paperweight."
• "I've requested a refund and replacement, but with how fragile this thing appears to be it'll be tough to trust it when I travel."
