Prime 67W GaN Wall Charger (3 Ports)

Overview

The Anker Prime 67W GaN Wall Charger (model A2669) is a three-port wall charger — two USB-C and one USB-A — built on Anker’s GaNPrime platform. It’s marketed as 51% smaller than the original 67W MacBook charger, which is a meaningful claim for anyone trying to trim their town-kit or travel loadout. It’s aimed squarely at the “one charger for everything” crowd: phone, earbuds, tablet, and a lightweight laptop all from a single outlet.

Get Started

Performance

Power Delivery

Each USB-C port can push the full 67W when used alone. Plug in a second device in any combination and the charger intelligently divides up to 65W between the two ports. Run all three ports at once and you’re working with a 64.5W total ceiling.

That’s a notably thoughtful power-sharing scheme —

the three outputs deliver 65W through any two ports simultaneously, irrespective of the order you plug in.

Compare that to the cheaper GaNPrime 65W sibling (A2668), where

the USB-A port and middle USB-C port share a maximum of just 24W when used simultaneously

— a real-world bottleneck the A2669 avoids entirely.

Both USB-C ports support all major fast-charging standards, including PPS

, so whether you’re running an iPhone, a Samsung Galaxy, or a Google Pixel, the charger negotiates the right protocol automatically.

PowerIQ 4.0 handles dynamic power distribution across connected devices

, so you’re not manually managing which device gets priority.

Real-World Caveats

Here’s where I want to be honest about the ceiling. 67W is enough for most Apple laptops other than the 16-inch MacBook Pro, but since this is a multi-port charger, you’re probably buying it to charge multiple devices simultaneously. That works fine for an iPad, iPhone, and Apple Watch combination, but mix in a MacBook Pro drawing full load alongside other devices and you’ll start bumping against the wattage cap. For that use case, Anker’s 100W model is the better pick.

One forum user noted they charge a MacBook Pro, iPhone, and iPad overnight without issues — overnight being the operative word. At 67W shared across three hungry devices, things slow down under active use. If you’re charging a MacBook Air (which draws closer to 30–35W under light load), it’s fine. Power users who want to top off a 14” MacBook Pro and a phone in under an hour should step up to the 100W version.

Also worth noting: this charger does not support MagSafe charging for M2 MacBooks. You’ll need a standard USB-C to USB-C cable, which matters if you’ve built your setup around MagSafe.

Thermals

GaN technology helps with the compact design and does a more efficient job transferring current than traditional silicon chargers. At full load with two devices connected it gets warm, but Anker’s ActiveShield 2.0 protective circuit monitors temperature to prevent it from getting too hot.

ActiveShield 2.0 checks the charger’s temperature more than 3 million times per day to guard against overheating.

Anker recommends an ambient operating temperature of 0–25°C, which is on the restrictive side.

In practical terms, this probably doesn’t matter much — you’re plugging into a wall inside a hut, hostel, or hotel room, not leaving it in a sun-baked car. But it’s worth knowing if you’re charging in a warm environment.

Build and Portability

The 67W model measures around 1.5 inches (~40 mm) square by 1.9 inches (50 mm) deep

— roughly the size of a large sugar cube.

The plug is foldable for both the U.S. and European versions

, which is a genuinely useful travel feature. It sits flat in a stuff sack or hip belt pocket without snagging anything.

Partially covered pins and an innovative stacked design help keep the charger securely in place when plugged into a wall outlet

— something worth appreciating in loose or older outlets.

At 167.3g (5.9 oz), this isn’t a featherweight. It’s heavier than dedicated single-port travel chargers, but replacing two or three separate chargers with one block nets you real pack weight savings. Anker claims compatibility with over 1,000 devices including smartphones, tablets, laptops, and earbuds, which tracks with the broad protocol support.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • 67W solo output is laptop-capable — handles MacBook Air and most 14” laptops without throttling
  • Excellent multi-port power sharing: any two-port combo delivers up to 65W, regardless of plug-in order
  • Supports PPS, PD 3.0, and QC — broad fast-charge compatibility across Apple, Samsung, Google, and others
  • Compact footprint for its output class; foldable prongs on US version
  • Solid 24-month warranty and reliable Anker support track record

Cons

  • 167.3g is noticeable weight — ultralight hikers will feel it
  • 67W total ceiling starts to bind when charging a power-hungry laptop plus two other devices simultaneously
  • Does not support MagSafe for M2 MacBooks
  • Only available in black — no color options
  • Restricted 0–25°C recommended operating temperature
  • No cable included

Who Should Buy This

This is a smart pick for the three-season backpacker or international traveler who carries a MacBook Air or lightweight Windows ultrabook alongside a phone and tablet, and wants to replace a tangle of individual chargers with a single compact block. It’s also a strong hostel or hut-to-hut choice where outlets are scarce and sharing is unavoidable — three ports means your tripmates stop giving you the stink-eye. If your laptop is a 16-inch MacBook Pro or another high-wattage machine and you want to fast-charge it alongside other devices, step up to the 100W version.

Verdict

The Anker Prime 67W does what it promises: shrinks three capable ports into a compact, travel-friendly block with genuinely intelligent power sharing. The 67W ceiling is the main constraint, and it’s a real one for power-hungry laptop users — but for MacBook Air owners and anyone running a modest ultrabook, it’s an elegant one-charger solution. At around $35–$45 on sale, the value-to-capability ratio is hard to argue with. Rating: 8/10.
