The Anker 747 GaNPrime 150W fits a laptop, a phone, a tablet and accessories on one outlet: 150W total, up to 100W on any of its three USB-C ports, and owners who live with it keep praising the one-brick simplicity. It runs noticeably warmer than its smaller siblings — MacSources measured 114°F on the surface — and the 231.5 g body needs the included silicone stabilizer in loose outlets.
— THE VERDICT · JUDGEANY EDITORSWhat the Anker 747 is
Launched in 2022 as the flagship of Anker's GaNPrime lineup, the 747 (model A2340) is a 150W wall charger with three USB-C ports and one USB-A port. It uses gallium-nitride tech with PowerIQ 4.0 Dynamic Power Distribution and ActiveShield 2.0 temperature monitoring, weighs 8.2 oz (231.5 g), and has foldable prongs plus an included silicone stabilizer for wobbly outlets. Any single USB-C port can deliver up to 100W — enough for most USB-C laptops — while the USB-A port tops out at 22.5W.
The port-split rules that actually matter
Anker's official port table is the most important spec on this charger. Any pair of USB-C ports delivers 150W combined, so two laptops at high speed is the easy case. But USB-C1 (the top port) plus USB-A is capped at just 24W combined — a pairing trap owners should memorize. USB-C2 or USB-C3 plus USB-A is the right combo at 100W + 22.5W. With three or four ports in use, the total is still 150W. Practical takeaway — keep your phone on USB-A and pair it with the middle or bottom USB-C, not the top one.
What published tests found
MacSources' hands-on review of the Series 7 lineup measured the 747's surface temperature with an infrared thermometer during a charging test: it climbed to 114°F, while the 735 and 737 stayed under 100°F under the same conditions. Cult of Mac's review charged a 14-inch MacBook Pro from 60% to 85% in 22 minutes (sleep mode off, no apps running) and an iPhone 13 Pro from half-full up 25% in about 40 minutes, noting the brick got warm but stayed below their 50°C concern threshold. Anker claims a 16-inch MacBook Pro fills in under 2 hours, and that Dynamic Power Allocation — which rebalances power every 3 minutes — cuts the combined charging time of two 14-inch MacBook Pros by 62 minutes. We don't run a lab; these are published findings, and scores below are editorial judgments based on them.
What owners praise — and complain about
Owners consistently praise the 747 as a one-brick setup: one outlet for a laptop, a phone, a tablet and accessories at the same time. Digital Trends' long-term user kept it on his nightstand running a MagSafe puck, an Apple Watch charger, and still had two free ports. The recurring complaints are heat and bulk: at 231.5 g it is heavy for foldable prongs, and owners report it sagging or falling out of loose wall outlets — the silicone stabilizer exists for a reason. One forum reviewer measured his unit as "quite hot — almost painfully hot" but concluded the temperatures were acceptable given the ActiveShield protection that throttles output when overheating.
Who should buy it
Anyone who wants a single wall charger for a laptop plus two or three more devices should consider it — check it live on Amazon. The 150W ceiling is generous, and the three 100W-capable USB-C ports are rare at this size. Skip it if you need 140W PD 3.1 Extended Power Range on a single port, or if Samsung Super Fast Charging 2.0 (45W) is a must — see the PPS note below — or if you want the smallest possible brick for travel, where the 187 g 737 is the lighter sibling.
