This charger is tiny -- about the size of Anker's excellent Model 715 65W charger [amazon.com] -- but unlike that excellent charger, this one has 3 ports and Dynamic Power Distribution that is supposed to detect the power draw needs from each device and divide the power accordingly. In other words, plug your laptop and your phone into the two USB-C ports, and it will allocate power evenly, or based on which one needs it more. (i.e., if your smartphone battery is drained and calling for 25W fast charging, it'll send more power to that port for a while, but if you're using your laptop to render video files, it'll send more power in that direction). Pretty remarkable for a little cube that's less than 2 inches.
In practice, I'm disappointed to learn that the dynamic power distribution hasn't performed quite as well in tests as advertised. For travel, if you just buy the single port Model 715 charger for about $10 less, plug your laptop into that and use the USB ports on your laptop to charge your phone and watch, you'll get the same result.
If you're buying your first compact charger, I'd say get this. It's a steal for $36 and it's versatile. But if you already have the single-port Model 715, this may not be worth it.

2 ports:
Top USB-C + bottom USB-C: 45W + 20W
USB-C + USB-A: 47W + 18W
All 3 ports:
Top USB-C + bottom USB-C + USB-A: 45W + 12W + 7.5W
I personally like the 100W Prime charger for travel because when I only have 30 minutes at the airport plug and want to bump charge my devices, giving my laptop 100W or at least a 65W split charge is needed as 45W is a bit too slow for my taste.
Still a good charger overall. I bought a 67W for my in laws to put in the kitchen. It's more than enough to charge 2 phones and some other device when we are around the house.
