Macworld Instead of carrying around that large MacBook charger with a single port, you could get this three-port Anker Nano model for $26, a 35 percent discount, and the best price we’ve seen since it was $24 on Black Friday. This GaN charger is more compact and much better at temperature control. With three ports, this Anker model is a lot more versatile since you can also use it to charge smartphones, tablets, and other gadgets. There are two USB-C and one USB-A, with either of the C-ports having the capacity to reach 65W, while the A-port caps at 22.5W. When all ports are in use, the top one is limited to 40W, but that’s still more than the 30W adapter that came with your MacBook Air. When multiple devices are connected, the charger is great at distributing power to ensure an efficient charge for each. This makes it an ideal companion for any trip you take since you won’t need to pack multiple chargers. It also doesn’t hurt that the Anker Nano has foldable prongs, so your other gadgets won’t get scratched up in your bag. So snag this 3-port Anker Nano charger for $26 and get the compact model you actually need. Buy now at Amazon05:11 pmHands-on: These are my favorite high-power power banks for your MacBook & iPad

Thanks to USB-C and fast charging, many modern power banks can now deliver up to 140W, rivaling wall chargers in both power and efficiency while still being portable enough to carry in a bag. There are a few brands that are well respected and known for their high-quality power banks, so I wanted to see who made the best high-powered charger that could charge at least 100W, has a built-in cable, is TSA approved, and also provides some charging stats in real time. Here are the best ones I have tested so far! more…05:01 pmiPhone 18 Pro may get a sharper 24MP front-facing camera
