Anker is famous for its wide range of charging products
Anker makes some of the most popular accessories on the market. It’s well known for making phone chargers and power banks, and this docking station incorporates a lot of that know-how.
It has a ton to offer anyone looking to clean up any kind of computing setup, as its 14 ports make it easy to connect just about any device. It features nine USB ports in total, four of them being super fast USB-C ports and five of them being traditional USB-A ports. These allow you to connect things like SSDs and other external storage.

If you need an extra display or two and also a bunch of top-end device charging ports, and can do without storage card readers, this 14-in-1 dock is a nine-USB power house.
Windows users can run two extended 4K displays off the dock at 60Hz, while Mac users can mirror on two or just go for one extra display.
Docking stations help you create a full desktop setup from your laptop, which is connected to the dock using just one USB-C cable.
This Anker USB-C dock also works with Thunderbolt 3 or 4 laptops
This Anker USB-C dock also works with Thunderbolt 3 or 4 laptops if your laptop has the fast connection standard but will be pegged back at its own 10Gbps maximum data-transfer speed rather than Thunderbolt’s 40Gbps.
The Anker Prime 160W Charging Docking Station has an impressive 13 ports, plus the upstream USB-C port to connect to the host (likely your laptop).
It is loaded with USB data and charging ports but also has most of the basics you’d expect on a dock.
- 100W PD 3.0 charging via upstream USB-C port
- Up to two external displays (2x 4K at 60Hz)
- Two HDMI 2.0 ports
- Two USB-C (10Gbps) ports
- Two USB-C (100W) ports
- One USB-A (10Gbps) port
- One USB-A (12W) port
- Three USB-A (480Mbps) ports
- Gigabit Ethernet port
- Hybrid 3.5mm audio port
- 160W total power output
This compact and good-looking vertical-standing dock leans to its charging prowess, but the three front-mounted 10 Gbps data ports (two USB-C, one USB-A) should also be sufficient for most setups.
The Anker 14-in-1 dock delivers 160W of maximum output capacity
One thing that sets this apart from cheaper docking stations is its exceptional power delivery. The Anker 14-in-1 dock station delivers 160W of maximum output capacity, which allows it to charge up to four devices at a time.
That means it can simultaneously charge your laptop or Chromebook and connect it to an external display. It also means you can charge your phone and a couple of other devices while simultaneously powering and working on your laptop or Chromebook.
There’s a Smart Mode that automatically allocates optimal charging power
There’s a Smart Mode that automatically allocates optimal charging power to each port based on the connected devices’ requirements; plus a Custom Mode so you can prioritize individual ports as you please.
Ports can be set to “Power Priority” for higher power, “Power Saving” for reduced power, or “Balanced” for equal power distribution among ports.
