Hi guys. This is Ben from ChargerLAB. Today we are going to do a hands-on review
with Anker PowerPort Atom PD1 USB-C Power Delivery charger.
What is special about this thing is it is one of the first USB chargers that feature
GaN (Gallium Nitride) component inside. If you use GaN to make component
like switches. They can work at a much higher frequency so the system
will have better efficiency. Less heat will be generated. So chargers with GaN
component can be much smaller the traditional silicon based components
chargers. Let's do a size comparison. So this is a 30W USB-C charger that
come with the 12-inch MacBook. They have very similar output. The Atom PD 1
maximum output is 27W. This one is 30W. You can see the size difference here. It's a
bit wider. But in terms of height, it's not smaller. This is the 18W USB-C
charger that come with the new iPad pro 2018 11 inch.
This is a regular Anker 30W USB-C charger. This is a Samsung 15W USB-A
charger that come with pretty much all Samsung flagship smartphones. So this is
the iPhone charger that we have seen forever. It's never change.
5W. So you can see it's not much larger for 27 watt output. Let's see
the spec here. So the output, there are four levels. 5V 3A, 9V 3A.
15V 1.5A and 20V 1.1A. So the maximum output
is 9V level. The great thing about it is you can charge your laptop or your iPad with it.
It is much smaller than the regular laptop charger. This one is the 61W Apple
USB-C charger that come with the 2018 MacBook Pro 13 inch. This is the Huawei Mate Book 13 that also come with a USB charger. This one it is 65W. So
you can see it's much smaller. But there will be a charging speed difference.
I will show you later.
Let's show the weights difference here.
Turn it on.
So it weighs around 67 grams and that's about two ounces.
Apple 30W USB-C charger. 106 grams A little bit more than three ounces.
So this one is the 61W Apple USB-C charger. 208 grams, that's more than six ounces.
So you can see if you carry this with your laptop. It's gonna be much lighter.
Now I'm gonna show you how fast does it charger other devices.
I have a whole bunch of phones here from Samsung Huawei OnePlus LG and a bunch of iPhones.
and also I have iPad Pro and two laptops. One from Huawei. One from Apple.
I also have the Nintendo Switch. It also charges via USB-C.
To measure the power, I am using the Power-Z KM001C USB Power Monitor.
power monitor that can do a lot of things I will cover the future of this
in future reading which is key fuck subscribe please so to charge a iPhone
or a old iPad not a new iPad pro you a u.s. pc2 national favor so I have one
here USBC on that side lighting connector on
the other side so let's forget you sorry yeah the iPhone this one is the iPhone
to us max here
no it's to not vote as fast charging is party leery
so it takes a bit of time to go up to the maximum charge speed you can see
that's about it so it charges at about 16 months the
battery level is about 40 percent just do another one this one is - tell us
let's see here so it's to eat right here the 1716 was as fast charging again
power delivery protocol
no it's not me yeah it's now doing it so again about 1670 months the battery
level 30 40 percent maybe so when the screen is on it can go up to 20 Watts
very impressing Samsung phones so for Samsung phones and other USBC
smartphones and ganas fish as a charging cable so you see a point a meter I hope
Santa box very capable it's about a true filter surface well this one is positive
so it can pass a hundred watts of power
you really measure the power from this side but just to show it better and come
to the side the Marmont will be slightly different but not a lot
so this one is Galaxy s8 so for some cell phones if your charger and have the
say here screen off so if your chakra has the fireballs your arms working it
want to know bosz thats fast charging and as you can see here it says fast
charging right
this one is LG G sexy
it's about traveled Toba sorry
as is the way may know Wubbzy 20 pro
it's no dream seems right save a fast car make sure it shows no fast charging
what's wrong with it is he liable for sons again
so I'm not sure what's going on but it might not be compatible you see why like
a tiny pro the one past sixty here so this one doesn't support our to be
recharging I already know that let's see
so about five one five times seven was that's what it can do and it's not the
fault of the charger this the van pass from doesn't support party to worry
about twenty five hours
so I'll show you how fast does it part is the stock intimate upon us PC charger
so it's about 70 watts you can see the smaller faster about 24 yeah about 20 to
24 hours on that I'm gonna see another laptop so this is the huawei mate book
13 is just released as you see as 2019 it will be available to pass by on
Amazon for a thousand US dollars this is pretty neat so it called a stripper
shoes skin instead of regular 18 by 9 and it
screen so you can see they ask to app display here let's charge it and see how
fast does it charge so about what he was
so now I'm gonna start in the lobby 65 us let's talk about committee met for 13
and see this difference
yeah charters have about 60 was the
Apple MacBook Pro Mason in stock - 61 what yes
so above 32 it's not very stable but you can see that it doesn't really chart
references check the pattern I love you it's about 17% it's not as you can see
it there really is a charging speed difference if you charge your laptop is
a smaller charger but if you're not using a laptop and all right doing some
light workload the speed difference is not gonna be
that large this one is much smaller so a lot easier to carry I don't know about
you guys but I quite like this and I will carry this around certainly instead
of those larger trackers we will have more reviews come University we also
have the raw power can charger that has a photo comes just following it for us
so you can see more
