What the Anker 735 Charger (GaNPrime 65W) is
The Anker 735 Charger (GaNPrime 65W) is a multi-port wall charger meant to replace the pile of charging bricks most people end up with. You plug it into a wall outlet, then charge up to three devices at once using its two USB-C ports and one USB-A port.
Its headline number is 65W max total output. In real life, that’s the difference between a charger that’s only good for phones and tablets and one that can also handle many USB-C laptops. If you’re carrying a laptop to class and you don’t want to pack the original laptop brick, 65W is the range where a single compact charger starts to make sense.
It’s also built for mixed-device life. USB-C is the modern standard for laptops, tablets, and most phones, but USB-A is still common for older cables and accessories. Having both means you can keep using what you already own while you gradually move everything to USB-C.
Why it stands out
The port layout is the main win. Two USB-C ports let you charge a laptop and a phone from the same brick, and the USB-A port is there for the third device or for the cable you forgot to upgrade. For a back-to-school setup, that can mean one charger covers your laptop, phone, and headphones overnight from a single outlet.
The USB-C ports support up to 65W max on a single port (USB-C1 or USB-C2). That’s what makes it viable as a laptop charger, not just a phone charger. The USB-A port is rated up to 22.5W max, which is plenty for phones and smaller gear.
It also supports PPS (Programmable Power Supply). In plain English, PPS is a USB-C fast-charging feature that lets compatible devices negotiate power more dynamically. If you have a phone that supports PPS, this charger is designed to play nicely with that standard.
Finally, it’s genuinely compact for what it does. The listed weight is 4.65 oz (131.8 g) and the dimensions are 1.5 x 1.15 x 2.6 inches. That’s small enough to live in a backpack pocket without feeling like you packed a spare laptop brick.
What it is like to own
Day to day, the Anker 735 Charger (GaNPrime 65W) is straightforward: plug it in, then plug in your cables. The main “workflow” change is that you stop thinking in terms of separate chargers for separate devices. You just bring one brick and the cables you need.
If you regularly charge multiple things at once, pay attention to how multi-port output works. The charger has a 65W max total output, and it can run all three ports at the same time. But the way power is shared depends on which ports you use. For example, USB-C2 plus USB-A is listed at 24W max, which is a very different situation than charging a laptop from a USB-C port by itself.
For storage and carry, the compact body helps. Whether the plug folds depends on the region: the US version is listed as foldable, while the UK version is listed as not foldable. If you’re buying for travel or you hate snagging things in your bag, that’s worth checking before you hit purchase.
What to know before you buy
The biggest limitation is the 65W ceiling. That’s enough for many USB-C laptops, but not all. If your laptop expects a higher wattage charger, you may still be able to charge, but it can be slower or less reliable under heavy use. This is the charger to buy when you want one compact brick for everyday carry, not when you’re trying to replace a high-wattage workstation charger.
Second, multi-port charging is not the same as “everything gets full speed.” The charger can output 65W total, but some port combinations are capped lower. If you plan to charge a laptop and a second device at the same time, use one of the USB-C ports for the laptop and be realistic about how much power is left for the other device.
Finally, this is a wall charger, not a portable battery. If your day regularly ends with a dead phone before you get back to an outlet, you’ll get more practical value from a power bank, even if you still keep a wall charger like this at your desk.
The specs that matter
Two USB-C ports cover modern laptops and phones, while USB-A keeps older cables and accessories usable without adapters.
This is the number that makes it realistic as a single charger for many USB-C laptops plus smaller devices.
If you want laptop charging, you generally want the laptop on a USB-C port, ideally by itself or with a light second load.
USB-A is still handy for older charging cables and smaller gadgets. This port has enough power for typical phone charging.
Which ports you use changes what each device can get. If you need laptop charging plus another device, choose the port pairing that keeps enough power available.
PPS support can improve fast-charging compatibility with phones that use that standard, so you’re less likely to need a brand-specific charger.
Small enough to live in a backpack or tech pouch as your default charger, instead of being a “leave it at home” brick.
Who this product fits
You want one charger for a USB-C laptop and a phone in your backpack
Plug your laptop into one of the USB-C ports, then use the second USB-C or the USB-A port for your phone. You carry one brick instead of two, and you can charge both from one outlet in the library.
You have a mix of USB-C and USB-A cables at home
The two USB-C ports cover newer devices, and the USB-A port keeps your older cables useful. That’s an easy way to upgrade your charging setup without replacing every cable at once.
You share outlets in a dorm or classroom
A single 3-port charger can reduce outlet hogging. Instead of taking multiple wall plugs, you take one outlet and still charge multiple devices.

Can the Anker 735 Charger (GaNPrime 65W) charge three devices at once?
Yes. It has three ports and supports using all of them at the same time, with 65W max total output. Just know that the available power per device depends on which ports you use.
Which port should I use for my laptop?
Use USB-C1 or USB-C2. Those are the ports that can deliver up to 65W on a single port, which is what most USB-C laptops want.
Does it support PPS fast charging?
Yes, PPS is listed as a supported charging technology. That matters most for phones that use PPS to negotiate fast charging over USB-C.
Is the plug foldable?
It depends on the region. The US version is listed as foldable, while the UK version is listed as not foldable.
Should you buy the Anker 735 Charger (GaNPrime 65W)?
Buy the Anker 735 Charger (GaNPrime 65W) if you want one compact wall charger that can cover a laptop, phone, and a third device without carrying multiple bricks. The two USB-C ports plus a USB-A port is a practical mix, and 65W max output is the right range for many student and everyday laptop setups.
Skip it if your laptop really needs more than 65W or if your daily problem is running out of battery away from outlets. In that case, you either want a higher-wattage wall charger or a power bank. But for a back-to-school “one charger for everything” setup, the Anker 735 Charger (GaNPrime 65W) is an easy, sensible buy.
