The long-rumored touchscreen MacBook is "100% confirmed," according to a top leaker. It puts a capper on building evidence.

Macworld Anker Prime 160W charger View Deal (function () { document.querySelector("#sticky-promo-block a").addEventListener("click", function(e) { const debug = document.location.host.search(/lndo.site|go-vip.net/) !== -1; const text = this.closest("#sticky-promo-block").querySelector("p.promo-title").textContent; const data = { event: "stickyConversionUnitClick", eventCategory: "Sticky Conversion", eventAction: "Click", eventLabel: text }; if(debug)console.log("Sticky Conversion CLick - pushing to dataLayer: ", data); dataLayer.push(data); return true; }); })(); Anker’s Prime 160W 3-port USB-C charger is down to $116, a hefty $34 discount on its $150 MSRP. The first thing you’ll notice when getting this charger is the size. Roughly the size of an AirPods Pro case, the charger will take little space in your bag or on your desk. Since it uses GaN technology, the charger offers more power in a smaller package and that’s something we appreciate. The Anker Prime charger delivers 160W of total output across three ports. The single-port output is the one you’ll want when charging devices that require more power, as you can get 140W from any of the ports. That means a 16-inch MacBook Pro will charge at max speed no matter which port you pick, going from 0 to 50 percent in 25 minutes. When using multiple ports at once, it’s the top C-port that holds the most power, maxing out at 100W. The built-in display is a nice touch too, showing the real-time power output for each device, so you always know how much power is being pushed through each port. This plug might seem expensive, but consider this: Apple sells a 140W single-port plug for $99. So for just a little more, this $116 triple C-port Anker charger is a great pick you can use to juice up everything from laptops to smartphones and earbuds.03:15 pmSurprising nobody, leaker claims a touchscreen MacBook is '100% confirmed'
