I am not paid to promote anything. This is not sponsored content. I just wanted to share because one thing has really simplified my life for gadget charging. I have a laptop (Chromebook), a tablet and a phone. And the one charger I need is a GaN charger.

I still have this weird one from Brasus, the GaN2 Pro, and it's perfectly fine, if just a couple of centimeters too long to stay stuck in every AC outlet around. For example, in my home, in my office, in a hotel room or on Amtrak, it stays plugged in. In a plane outlet, in between seats, too close to my leg or knee, it does not. It’s just a little too rear-heavy.

But the Anker 726. Damn. Charges an iPhone in about 20 minutes, or 2% per minute. If you are viewing this post on a laptop or desktop, it is about life-sized in the photo below. And with 65 Watt output, it can keep a Chromebook, Windows laptop or MacBook charged, plus a tablet or phone.

Need a USB-A port with those two USB-C ports? Check out the Anker 735. This is the new road warrior.

Here’s the Anker 735 next to the Baseus GaN2 Pro. Both run cool. Both deliver quick, 65 Watt charging. The Anker is just a little shorter, for better balance in outlets.

And for my cables, the next level is pastel silicone, also from Anker. It can quickly charge iOS devices, Android phones, plus MacBooks, Chromebooks and Windows laptops. Even flashlights now have USB-C charging ports. These cables will not tangle, and each includes a silicone wrapping strap. They're available as a USB-C to USB-C, or a USB-C to Apple Lightning cable, in 3 and 6 foot lengths, and in 7 colors.
