I have an Anker Powerport Speed 5 I've owned for what seems like eon's but in the modern world of usb-c and fast charging I'm looking for faster and lighter.

We're going to be in Europe for a few weeks with my XPS 13, multiple late model Oneplus phones and the odd kindle, electric trimmer/shaver etc.

If it can charge the XPS that would mean one less charger to take and I'm not planning to use it that much if I can help it, but the ability to charge multiple phones as fast as possible is what I'm really looking for.

I thought about just getting an Anker Atom III slim but the reviews aren't exactly stellar.

Any recommendations ?

I have a couple branded Satechi and one branded Verbatim. I think the one I've been travelling with most recently is a Satechi 108w GaN charger. Compact unit that takes a figure 8 power cable so I just switch out mains cables depending on where we're travelling to. Charges the laptop and phones quite happily.

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

I’ve had 3 of these for some years now:

satechi 4 port

chunky but work really well. You mention multiple phones though, I wonder if you are better off going all usb-c charger?

I have two of these that I travel with. They come with 4 different adapters (AU/NZ, UK, EU & US) which makes them perfect for travelling. If you load all the ports up the primary USB C will only output 60W so perfect for my MacBook Pro or my wife's MacBook Air but some laptops do require a 90W charger.

Heymix 120W GaN Charger

The combination of three USB C and one USB A on each charger provides all the charging we need when travelling.

Thanks for the replies, we fly in two days so I'll nip into Wellington for the Satechi. I can then buy an F8 power cable in Europe.
