Anker's Laptop Charger Pro is a 100W USB-C adapter that features a built-in smart display and device detection to identify connected laptops. It has a single USB-C port and measures 62x52x34mm, with a foldable plug for easier transport. The EU retail price is €59.99 and availability begins on September 17, 2026.
The charger can detect "new Macs and most Windows laptops" when paired with a desktop app, and its smart display shows power output and lets users toggle Care Mode. Care Mode maintains a charging curve to extend battery lifespan and users can set a custom charging limit to further optimize battery health. Two color options are offered and a Valorant edition may follow the initial release.
The Charger Pro compresses high-watt charging into a compact, travel-friendly brick while adding on-device controls for battery care. The combination of a status screen, health-focused charging modes and device recognition creates a more intentional charging experience for laptop owners.
