Anker 735 Nano II: fewer charging bricks, with one important limit

One small charger for a laptop and the things around it sounds appealing. Make sure its shared power matches the way you actually plug everything in.

Start with the device that needs the most

A phone and a laptop can share a charger without asking for the same amount of power. Begin with your laptop’s charging requirements, then add the devices you normally charge alongside it.

Anker’s A2667 is the 735 Nano II 65W model, with two USB-C ports and one USB-A port. The 65W headline describes its maximum output arrangement, not three independent 65W supplies. Check the manual’s port-sharing table for the combination you intend to use.

Plan your busiest charging moment

Picture the ordinary evening: laptop working, phone plugged in and perhaps a third device waiting. That is a more useful test of the idea than imagining each device alone.

If the shared configuration leaves your laptop with less power than it needs for your workload, keep its original charger or choose a different supply. A compact charger is only a simpler kit when it can handle the jobs you actually give it. Plugging in another device can also change the power allocation.

Cables belong in the decision

Use cables rated and suitable for the charging you need. A matching USB-C connector does not establish the cable’s power capability, and a charger does not change a device’s supported charging standard.

Check the selected package for cables rather than assuming they come with it. For travel, check the plug type and the electrical requirements in the manual; the foldable plug is a packing feature, not a universal travel adapter. Keep the charger ventilated and follow the maker’s use guidance.

Buy a smaller kit, not another duplicate

Lay out the chargers you already own. Mark the one that powers the laptop reliably and the ones that travel with you. If you can remove two of them without losing the combinations you need, this has a clear purpose.

If it will sit beside all the existing bricks, it may just add another object. Compare the full kit—including any new cables—before choosing. Also match A2667 precisely: the similarly named 735 GaNPrime is a different model, and its specifications should not be swapped into this decision.
