I bought and returned this charger. It gets ridiculously hot, even with ZERO load on the charger. Anker blamed it on the bluetooth chip inside and wanted me to disable it, but I don't know of any other bluetooth that runs that hot.
For those buying this JUST for the 140W capability, the specs show on 120V it only runs for 1 hr @ 140W then "derates" to a lower amount.
Personally, I would not want to be the person in the airplane seat next to anyone using 140W continuous on their laptop.
Anker Prime 160W is a very compact travel charger built for powering a laptop, phone, and other USB C devices from one small block. The standout appeal is its size, with true high wattage in a form factor smaller than many 140W chargers, and the display can be useful for checking output. The main drawbacks are heat and power limits, with repeated reports of it running hot even at light load and not always sustaining advertised wattage. It also costs a premium, especially if you do not need 140W or the smallest possible charger.
Frequent work travelers charging a laptop and phone from one compact brick, because it delivers high wattage in a very small form factor.
Yes, its main advantage is a very small, compact form factor that makes it easy to pack for work trips or overseas travel while charging a laptop, phone, and other devices from one block. The tradeoff is that some travelers prefer models with a USB-A port or a different plug style for airline sockets.
The price is mainly paying for compact size and high-wattage USB-C charging, not for the cheapest 140W option. If you do not need 140W or do not care about size, commenters point to cheaper alternatives with similar output and sometimes a USB-A port.
Yes. It can get very warm or even ridiculously hot with no load or only 5-10W draw, and some units reportedly overheat enough to be returned. That makes heat the main practical concern if you plan to leave it plugged in or use it lightly.
It can, but only with a device and cable that support the right USB-C Power Delivery standards, including PD 3.1 and the higher voltage profiles. Several comments note that many laptops top out around 100W or less, so the 140W mode may not be usable for every device.
Not reliably. It is reported to be too high-powered for some airplane outlets and may fail to charge anything on international flights, while lower-wattage or differently shaped travel chargers fit airline sockets better.
I would if it didn't drop the USB-A port from the 140w.I fly for work at least once a month, so a single compact charger for laptop, phone, etc. that has enough wattage to charge quickly AND/OR run a GPU is a big deal for me.
Have this for a couple of months and it is great imo. It's expensive but for my needs I think I'm satisfied. I've moved almost all my devices to C and for travel, I have a passthrough battery bank that has an A port if I have anything that requires A. Screen certainly is a gimmick, but I mean it's somewhat useful if you're curious I suppose. I tested it with a USB cable that displays wattage and it was relatively accurate.
If you just ignore that you're paying a premium for smaller size for the Anker one, than sure. If size doesn't matter than the baseus one is a good price for a 140w charger. That's exactly what I said.[/QUOTE] The baseus is also GaN despite not having it in the product title, so it's small as well.

Half an inch on a power brick matters when you're packing a carry on. You're paying for the smallest size possible with the Anker, not to mention actual customer service and reliability vs baseus.
Both Gann chargers of mine died after 2 years staying plugged, 1 Ugreen 65W and 1 Chinese OEM 140W. They both get hot every usages so I would say these tiny chargers are for convenience not for longevity.
Usually love Anker products and bought 2 of these for traveling with multiple laptops, and even with 5-10 watts the thing gets warm! Why so warm at minimal usage?
Dynamic power allocation. Nearly all chargers with multiple ports don't allocate power amongst the ports based on the actual power needs of the devices plugged in. Ex. a 140w charger will default to splitting the power for two ports to 70w each when two devices are plugged in even if one device can only charge at 5w while the other device can charge at 100w.
So only worth it if you actually routinely plug in multiple devices and want to maximize 160w charging across all three (although this brick will throttle eventually at speeds above 150w). Easily my favorite charging brick right now.

The charger can power a laptop, phone, and other devices from a single compact block for travel convenience.
The high-watt modes can fit into a much smaller, lighter form factor than other 140W chargers used overseas.
The displayed wattage can be relatively accurate when tested with a wattage-reporting USB cable.
The deal can still be attractive when considering a two-pack price even with a short shipping wait.
The charger can run extremely hot even with zero load, and it may require disabling Bluetooth to reduce heat.
The charger may not deliver advertised high wattage in real use, including reports of only reaching 100W.
The charger can derate on 120V power and may be unsuitable for continuous 140W use in airplane seats.
The charger may be too high powered for some airplane outlets, preventing charging during certain international flights.

so this would be a no-brainer for that market. $100 isn't a big deal for many techies.

2 for $56 shipped is still a great deal, even if you have to wait a week or two.

Really comes down to two things:
- Size, smaller than any 140w+ charger out there
- Dynamic power allocation. Nearly all chargers with multiple ports don't allocate power amongst the ports based on the actual power needs of the devices plugged in. Ex. a 140w charger will default to splitting the power for two ports to 70w each when two devices are plugged in even if one device can only charge at 5w while the other device can charge at 100w.
