Anker 736 Nano II 100W USB C Charger - Compact 3-Port Fast Charger

In this review of the Anker 736 Charger (Nano II 100W) the bottom line is simple: it is for travelers and power users who need a compact, high-output wall charger that can power a laptop and two smaller devices at once. The reviewer found the single biggest reason to buy is its combination of true 100W capability from a very small GaN II design, which replaces a bulky laptop brick while still letting you charge a phone and earbuds simultaneously. It is a practical, space-saving alternative for anyone carrying a MacBook, Dell XPS, iPad Pro, or modern phones.

Key Features

• 100W peak output: Provides full-power charging for a compatible laptop from the primary USB-C port, so laptops that need high wattage will top up quickly.
• Three-port versatility: Two USB-C ports and one USB-A port let you charge a laptop, phone, and accessory at the same time without hunting for extra adapters.
• GaN II technology: The upgraded gallium nitride design increases operating frequency and allows a stacked, smaller circuit board so the charger is noticeably compact.
• Travel-friendly size: At roughly 2.64 in x 1.24 in x 2.24 in, it is about 34% smaller than an original 96W MacBook brick, making it easier to pack for trips.
• Safety certifications: IEC62368 certification and a V0 fireproof casing provide reassurance for everyday use and high-power charging sessions.
• Warranty and support: Includes an 18-month warranty and welcome guide, plus customer service support bundled with the purchase.

Who It's For

The Anker 736 Nano II 100W is best suited to frequent travelers, remote workers, and anyone who carries a high-wattage laptop plus mobile devices. Its compact footprint and three-port layout make it ideal for people who want one charger that replaces a laptop brick and still powers a phone and wireless buds.

It is less suitable for users who need a battery pack rather than a wall adapter, or for those who require guaranteed identical full 100W output on two USB-C ports at once, since peak output depends on single-, dual-, or triple-port configurations. Buyers needing an external battery should look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High 100W output from a much smaller GaN II design replaces a bulky laptop charger.
• Can power three devices at once, useful for laptop plus phone and earbuds on the desk or in a hotel.
• Solid build and travel-friendly dimensions make it convenient to carry in bags without taking much space.
• Includes an 18-month warranty and meets recognized safety standards for peace of mind.

Cons

• Some users report intermittent issues with the two main USB-C ports not working, so long-term reliability has mixed feedback.
• Warming under heavy load is normal, which may concern users expecting a completely cool charger during prolonged 100W delivery.
