a wall charger that can power just about
0:02
anything let's give it a look Dave
0:12
Taylor here and I'm looking at this this
0:13
is the Anker PowerPort 2 USB C dual port
0:18
charger but let's start by looking at
0:20
the ports one is USB C one is USB 3.0
0:24
and the difference is that they're
0:27
actually using anchors own proprietary
0:30
power IQ systems so they're pushing out
0:33
the maximum possible wattage for
0:36
whatever devices hook up this gets
0:38
really cool but let's plug it in and I'm
0:41
gonna go ahead and first off we're gonna
0:43
go ahead and you're gonna use the USB C
0:46
to charge our Nintendo switch and it
0:50
does indeed charge it however the
0:53
company says that it doesn't work when
0:55
the Nintendo is in docking mode so that
0:59
might be something for you to know about
1:00
and if we use a lightning cable and of
1:03
course the charger doesn't come with any
1:05
cables but if I use a lightning cable I
1:07
can plug in my iPhone 10 and it charges
1:11
away and here's what's really nice is it
1:14
charges all fast so the iPhone 10
1:17
charged 33 percent in one hour so that
1:20
is a fast charge that's up there with
1:22
the best Apple makes where this really
1:25
gets cool though and this really
1:27
surprised me was that I unplugged this I
1:30
plugged it into my macbook pro and this
1:33
is only a 30 watt charger but it
1:36
actually charged my macbook now
1:38
theoretically that shouldn't be
1:40
happening but when you look at your
1:42
system configuration it shows 30 watts
1:44
you can see it here and it does show
1:46
charging now what happens is that if
1:48
you're actually using the computer at
1:50
the same time it's not going to work but
1:52
if you can turn your computer off and
1:54
use this for an overnight charge or
1:56
something that'll work fine and in fact
1:58
in one hour I got a twenty six percent
2:01
charge that is pretty darn good for a 30
2:03
watt charger so I was really taken aback
2:06
I really thought that it maybe would
2:08
charge a couple of percentages or
2:10
something because that's half less than
2:13
of the smaller of the two apple chargers
2:16
for the MacBook Pro but it works and
2:19
what's great is the power IQ also has
2:22
what they call the anchor 11 point
2:24
safety system so it doesn't overcharge
2:27
it's sensitive to overheating if there's
2:30
any weirdness with the electrical
2:31
circuitry it powers itself off so once
2:34
it's fully charged it'll stop
2:36
so there's a lot of protection going on
2:38
in this device and as you can see it's
2:41
small the prongs fold in and it's a
2:44
really nice design that anchor has
2:47
really really nailed chargers we've
2:49
looked a lot of anchor Chargers and I
2:51
like all of them this one's a really
2:53
great emergency backup because it also
2:57
so for my macbook pro i can take just
3:00
this one thing and as long as I have the
3:03
right cables I can charge my phone I can
3:05
charge my computer my iPad whatever it
3:08
is that I have all off of this one unit
3:11
that is pretty sweet this is a
3:13
no-brainer acquisition for you now
3:15
before I tell you the price let me ask
3:17
if you can go ahead and click on that
3:19
subscribe button really appreciate that
3:22
now V Anker PowerPort 2 USB C dual port
3:26
charger is $29.99 at amazon.com which is
3:31
kind of a steal I would tell you go
3:34
check it out and maybe get one for
3:36
yourself this is Dave Taylor I got to
3:38
get my switch charged up so I will catch
