Community Reviews
This Anker 250W GaN Prime charging station is best as a dense, all in one desktop hub for phones, tablets, laptops, and other USB C gear. It can push up to 140 watts to a power bank, around 80 watts to a Mac, and the phone stays cool while charging. The app adds useful graphs and manual port control, and the screen and dial make it feel like a serious charging brick. The main caveat is that connected devices can briefly renegotiate power when a laptop or other high draw device is added, and some QC 2 and 3 gear may need different cables. It suits a shared charging spot if you want lots of ports in one heavy unit.

Thanks for point out this. When they share a rail, each of the connected ports renegotiate protocol and power draw. On one hand, it makes for an adaptable charger. On the other hand, I don't like the idea of power fluctuations each time a device is connected or disconnected.
I looked at the SlimQ 150W--found two versions--one with four USB-C and one with three USB-C and one USB-A. Both chargers that have ports that provide an "up to" output range. Doesn't that mean that there is also dynamic negotiation going on based on device plug-in and unplug?
As an aside, I see so many generic chargers that claim 500, 800, even 1000W. Out of morbid curiosity, I got a few to try, none even come close to what they claim.
