Anker Prime 67W GaN USB-C Wall Charger (A2669): ports, power and size

The Anker Prime 67W charger (model A2669) is a compact wall charger with three ports, two USB-C and one USB-A. It is built to charge a phone, tablet and laptop from a single outlet, and it uses GaN technology to stay small. This page explains how the power is shared and what to confirm for your own devices.

What GaN means

GaN stands for gallium nitride, a semiconductor material that wastes less energy as heat than traditional silicon in power conversion. In chargers, that typically allows smaller parts and a smaller case at the same wattage. Anker says this charger is 51% smaller than the original 67W MacBook charger. It measures about 1.5 x 1.6 x 2.0 inches (roughly 3.8 x 4.1 x 5.1 cm) and weighs 0.3 lb (about 135 g), so it fits easily in a laptop bag.

How the 67W is shared

Charger wattage is a maximum, and the way it is split matters when several devices are connected. Anker states these figures:

• One device: up to 67W, enough for many laptops, including MacBooks.
• Two ports in use: up to 65W total, whether it is two USB-C ports or a USB-C and a USB-A port.
• All three ports: the listing says it can charge three devices at once, with the power divided among them.

The listing does not give the exact split in every combination, so check the product manual for the output of each port when all three are in use. As a general rule, a laptop will charge more slowly when a phone is plugged in at the same time.

PPS and compatibility

The listing calls this a PPS (Programmable Power Supply) charger. PPS lets a compatible device request fine adjustments in voltage, which some phones, such as certain Samsung Galaxy models, use for their fastest charging. Anker lists compatibility with MacBook Pro and Air, Pixelbook, iPad Pro, iPhone 15 and 16, Galaxy S24 and S25, Note20, Pixel and Apple Watch. Charging speed always depends on the device's own limits and the cable, so a phone that accepts 25W will draw only that much from a 67W charger.

The cable matters

A charger can only deliver what its cable can carry. For laptop-level charging you typically need a USB-C cable rated for the power you want, and the listing's contents do not mention a cable, so confirm what is included. Use a good-quality cable from a known maker.

ActiveShield 2.0

Anker says its ActiveShield 2.0 safety system keeps charging secure and protected. As Anker describes it, this is a monitoring and protection feature built into the charger. Follow the manual, avoid covering the charger while it works and don't use it if it is damaged.

What's in the box

According to Anker, you get the Anker Prime 67W GaN wall charger with three ports, a welcome guide, a 24-month warranty and customer service. Warranty terms vary by region and seller.

Who it suits

It suits people who carry a laptop, phone and tablet and would rather pack one charger than three. It also works as a tidy desk or bedside charger for several devices.

What to check before you buy

• Laptop power: confirm your laptop's required wattage; 67W is enough for many but not all.
• Cables: check you have suitable USB-C cables for each device.
• Port split: read the output when several ports are in use.
• Plug type: check the plug is correct for the outlets in your country, or whether a travel adapter is needed.
• Device fit: the charger's physical shape can block neighbouring outlets on a power strip.
• Heat: warm chargers are normal during fast charging, but keep them in open air.

The short version

• A compact three-port charger: two USB-C and one USB-A, with GaN technology.
• Up to 67W to a single device; up to 65W across two ports.
• PPS support, plus compatibility with laptops, tablets, phones and watches as listed by Anker.
• ActiveShield 2.0 protection and a 24-month warranty, as stated by Anker.
• About 1.5 x 1.6 x 2.0 inches and 0.3 lb.
