Using the Anker 747 transforms a cluttered workspace into a streamlined charging hub. The PowerIQ 4.0 technology detects the power needs of connected hardware in real-time, ensuring that a MacBook Pro receives the maximum available wattage even when an iPhone and AirPods are plugged in. The build quality is robust, featuring a matte finish that resists fingerprints, and the foldable prongs click securely into place, preventing damage during transit. During heavy use, the ActiveShield 2.0 system monitors temperature over 3 million times per day, keeping the exterior cool to the touch compared to traditional silicon-based chargers.
Compared to the standard Apple 140W USB-C Power Adapter, the Anker 747 is approximately 38% smaller while offering three additional ports. While the Apple charger is limited to a single device, the Anker 747 can charge two MacBook Airs and an iPhone simultaneously at high speeds. Against the Anker 737 (120W), this 150W model provides an extra 30W of overhead, which is crucial for users running high-performance laptops under heavy workloads while fast-charging secondary peripherals.
Q&A:
- Can the Anker 747 charge a MacBook Pro 16-inch at full speed? Yes, it can provide up to 100W via a single USB-C port, which supports fast charging for the MacBook Pro 16-inch, though the laptop's maximum 140W input requires a MagSafe 3 cable and a 140W+ PD 3.1 charger.
- Does this charger support Samsung Super Fast Charging 2.0? Yes, the USB-C ports are compatible with PPS (Programmable Power Supply), enabling Super Fast Charging for Samsung Galaxy S22/S23/S24 Ultra models.
- Is it safe to leave plugged in overnight? Absolutely. The ActiveShield 2.0 technology provides continuous temperature monitoring and power adjustment to prevent overcharging and overheating.
- Can I use all four ports at the same time? Yes, the 150W total output is dynamically distributed across all four ports, allowing you to charge a laptop, a tablet, and two smaller devices simultaneously.
- Does it come with a USB-C cable? This specific model (A2659) is typically sold as the wall charger unit only; a high-wattage (5A/100W) USB-C to USB-C cable is recommended for optimal performance.
