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.
