I love traveling with this Anker 160W charger, which has 3 USB-C ports.[0] I just found out about GaN technology last year and I can't believe it isn't more widespread. This one can charge two MacBook Pros and an iPhone at full speed.

I recently got the Anker 140W. I bought a MacBook, and apparently they come without a charger these days. So instead of buying an expensive Mac charger, I figured the widely recommended Anker 140W offers a lot more functionality for less money.

Gan chargers also die really fast.

It's because they try to market the power density claims. So they're smaller, which compromises the cooling, which makes them run hotter.

Yep, I gave up on them for now. One of my older laptops also needs a charger that has the third ground pin, lest the trackpad become laggy due to electrical joise. I couldn't find a compact gan charger with a three pin plug and the third actually being connected to ground.
