    They look good indeed. Can you also recommend their USB chargers? I am looking for a 3A USB charger with at least 2 ports.

    For the last one I had one of the pins broke and got stuck in the outlet, it was a very funny experience.

      I got one of their 100W chargers and it’s awesome. Can charge my MacBook from work, but is smaller than the bundled Mac charger.

      Can power my personal surface + phone + wife’s phone.

      It’s great!

      I’ve had an Anker 2 port 3A charger for at least 5 years or so and don’t have any complaints about it. I’ve been an Anker fanboy for a while (albeit, I don’t buy a ton of electronics, but when I do need something Anker is my go-to), but I will say that doing some Googling recently it sounds like their quality might be going down. Just something to be aware of; I’ll probably keep buying from them unless I have a bad experience or keep hearing similar things. I’m just not aware of an alternative that’s as good as they have been.

      Anker is basically the only phone accessory brand I use. Now that iPhone moved to USB-C, Costco finally carries USB-C cables and they sell a really nice set of Anker cables, and Costco vouching for them tells me all I need to know.
