It is important to know

When choosing a charger like the Anker Nano 45W Smart Display, it's crucial to realistically assess how and for which devices you'll use it most often before you buy. The issues of power and number of ports quickly become important, as they affect the speed and versatility of charging. Since this model has a single USB-C port and offers a high 45W of power, it's mostly intended for fast charging of one device at a time - it's a compromise between compactness and multi-purpose use.

• One port means you can only charge one device at a time – practical if you prioritize speed and size, but not for charging multiple devices at once.
• 45W of power is sufficient to quickly charge most modern phones and tablets and certain other smaller devices – but it is not suitable for all types of laptops, which often require more power for optimal charging.
• Choosing a USB-C connector means higher compatibility with newer devices and preparation for the future; however, there is no real support for users who are still using only old USB-A cables.
• The small size is an advantage for portability, but it raises the question of how much extra features and performance you're willing to sacrifice in exchange for a more minimalist design.
