Anker MacBook Pro Charger, Compact and Foldable 100W USB C Charger
Color: Arctic White
Perfect Blend of Power, Portability, and Reliability
After using the Anker 100W USB-C Charger with my MacBook Pro for several weeks, I can confidently say this is one of the best third-party chargers I’ve owned. It combines everything I want in a charger: powerful performance, smart design, travel-friendly size, and the kind of reliability that makes you forget about constantly worrying whether your devices are charging correctly.
First and foremost, the charging power is excellent. My MacBook Pro charges just as quickly with this charger as it does with Apple’s official adapter, which is impressive considering how much smaller and lighter it is. Even while running demanding programs, I haven’t noticed any slowdown in charging speeds. The 100W output is more than enough for laptops, and it works equally well for tablets, phones, and even accessories like my Nintendo Switch. I like that I don’t have to carry multiple chargers anymore—this one compact brick handles them all without a problem.
The design is very thoughtful. The compact size immediately stands out. Compared to the bulkier Apple version, this Anker model takes up far less room in my bag, which is a big deal for someone who’s always on the go. The foldable prongs are another small detail that makes a huge difference. They flip in and out smoothly, and when folded, the charger doesn’t catch on anything or scratch my laptop or other gear. It feels designed with travel and everyday use in mind, which I really appreciate.
Another thing that deserves praise is the build quality. Anker has a strong reputation for durable products, and this charger lives up to that. The casing feels solid and well-made, and even after extended use it doesn’t get excessively hot. I’ve had cheaper chargers in the past that either overheated, felt flimsy, or started making buzzing noises after a while. This one inspires confidence every time I plug it in.
I’ve also tested it across multiple devices, not just my MacBook Pro. It fast-charges my iPad, my phone, and even my wireless earbuds with no issues at all. The intelligent power distribution seems to adjust perfectly depending on what I’m charging, so I don’t have to worry about damaging smaller devices or not getting enough juice for the bigger ones. It’s reassuring to know that I can toss this charger in my bag and it will handle whatever device I need, no matter where I am.
One area where this really shines is portability. I travel a lot, and carrying around the original MacBook charger always felt bulky and awkward. With this Anker charger, I save space and weight in my backpack without sacrificing performance. It’s so much easier to manage at airports, coffee shops, and co-working spaces. The foldable design just makes it that much neater to pack away.
Overall, this charger is an easy five stars for me. It has the speed and reliability of Apple’s charger, but in a smaller, smarter, and more portable package. Anker has nailed the balance between performance and convenience, and it’s a purchase I feel completely confident recommending to anyone who owns a MacBook Pro or any USB-C device that requires higher wattage. If you want one charger that can do it all, this is the one.
