Anker Nano II 65W GaN USB-C Charger

GaN (gallium nitride) chargers run cooler and smaller than traditional silicon chargers at the same wattage — the Nano II takes this further than most. At 65W, it will charge a MacBook Pro at full speed, a Samsung Galaxy at PPS fast-charge rates, and any USB-C device in between. It is genuinely pocket-sized, which is not something you can say about most laptop chargers.

The single USB-C port is the constraint: you’re not running multiple devices simultaneously. For a travel charger or desk charger where you have a second USB-A port nearby, this limitation is irrelevant. What matters is that 65W through one cable covers every scenario from charging a phone to powering an ultrabook.

Anker’s quality control on chargers is among the best in the category — over 66,000 ratings with a 4.4 average reflects a product that actually delivers what the spec sheet promises. For UAE travellers the universal voltage (100-240V) works in all GCC countries without an adapter. At AED 79 — down from AED 179 — this is worth buying as a spare even if you already have a charger.
