Anker's 140W four port charger is a compact travel friendly hub for powering a laptop, phone, and smaller accessories from one wall outlet. It offers three USB C ports and one USB A port, with strong single port output and clear wattage splits when multiple devices are connected. The built in display adds useful visibility, and the size still feels bigger and heavier than expected. Power can also drop under load, with thermal throttling, trickle charging quirks, and no USB C cable included in some retail versions. A practical pick if you want high output in a small charger.
Laptop-and-phone travelers who need one compact charger for both, because it can deliver high wattage from a single port and still handle multiple devices.
Desk setups with several USB-C devices, because the charger shows detailed per-port wattage and voltage splits for one-, two-, and three-device charging.
It can deliver up to 140W on a single port, but output drops as more ports are used: 70W + 70W for two ports, 65W + 45W + 30W for three ports, and as low as 12W on one port when all four are in use. The charger is best if you need high power on one or two devices rather than full-power charging on everything at once.
It can throttle from heat, with reports that sustained 140W output may not last more than about 10 minutes before dropping. A practical expectation is closer to roughly 110W sustained rather than a full 140W.
It may have trickle-charging issues with low-power devices like AirPods. It is more suited to higher-draw gear such as laptops and phones than very small accessories.
It is compact and travel-sized, but it is still bigger and heavier than expected. If you only need to charge a laptop and phone, the 70W Anker charger may be the better fit.
Yeah the chargers that don't re-negotiate are rare.
Yeah, my SIIG one's USB-A port doesn't re-negotiate. Which works well for me, for now. I was hoping to get something with more USB-C ports. Oh well. the search goes on.
Almost got me. But this thing stinks. It has issues with trickle charging like AirPods. It doesn't equally distribute power.. which is fine but the third port is 40w alone (great) but drops to 24w if using 3 ports and a sad 12w if using all 4. Also reviews aren't great. Tons mention it gets super hot and thermal throttles. And it's been $60 a ton of times in the last year or so.
looks good - I was looking for compact; travel sized.
While this is compact, travel sized - it is bit bigger and heavier. The 70w Anker charger is a better option if you are not charging your laptop and phone at the same time.

typically it's just being able to power the USB-A port without interruption while others are being swapped in and out.

No, this version does not include a USB-C charging cable. The Amazon listing reportedly includes one, but it costs more.
