The 2 Anker Labor Day Deals I Would Actually Buy for Travel

Anker's Amazon Labor Day sale covers everything from power banks to big desktop charging stations, but most travelers do not need the whole list. The two deals I would look at are the compact Nano 45W Smart Display Charger and the much more powerful Prime 160W Charger.

The Nano 45W is down to $26 from $40, while the Prime 160W is $116 instead of $150 as part of Anker's Amazon Labor Day sale.

Best for most travelers: Anker Nano 45W for $26

This is the straightforward recommendation. At 45W, the Nano can cover a phone, tablet, handheld, power bank, or a lighter USB-C laptop without taking much room in your tech pouch. Its plug folds in, and the display shows charging status without turning the charger into a bulky desktop accessory.

The main limitation is that it has one USB-C port. If you regularly charge several devices at once, you will either need another charger or should move up to the Prime.

Best for a laptop-heavy setup: Anker Prime 160W for $116

The Prime 160W is the expensive option, and most travelers do not need it. It earns its place if you carry a power-hungry laptop plus a phone, tablet, or battery bank and want one three-port charger to handle the whole setup.

One USB-C port can deliver up to 140W, while the 160W total output gives the charger more room when several devices are connected. The screen and touch controls are useful, but the real reason to buy it is replacing multiple bricks with one charger.

Which deal should you buy?

Buy the Nano 45W if your travel kit is built around a phone, tablet, handheld, or lighter laptop. It is smaller, cheaper, and the better default for most people.

Buy the Prime 160W only if you already know 45W and one port will not cover your setup. It is the stronger one-charger solution, but it is overkill for a simple phone-and-accessories kit.
