Anker 715 Nano II 65W Review: Is One Port Enough?

The Anker 715 Nano II 65W (A2663) suits a compatible USB-C laptop or phone when charging one device at a time is enough. Skip it if your laptop needs more than 65W or you want a laptop and phone plugged in together: there is only one USB-C port. The cable is sold separately, so bring a USB-C to USB-C cable rated for your device’s charging power, or USB-C to Lightning for a Lightning iPhone. Anker specifications

At a glance

Pros

• Up to 65W from one USB-C port suits many 45W/65W laptops. Anker specifications
• Folding US prongs and a 3.96 oz body pack easily. Anker specifications

Cons

• One port means charging devices in turns.
• Cable not included; higher-power laptops need another charger. Anker specifications

Who does this charger fit?

It fits a travel kit built around one USB-C device. Anker lists the A2663 at 1.65 × 1.42 × 1.74 inches, with folding US prongs and 100–240V input; travel abroad may still require a plug adapter. Its compatibility examples include the 2020 MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, Dell XPS 13 9360/9380, and ThinkPad X390; verify your exact model’s requirements. A phone can use the same charger, but its own input limit sets the pace, and phone-only buyers may not use the 65W capacity. Anker specifications

Is 65W enough for your laptop?

For a compatible laptop designed around a 45W or 65W USB-C adapter, this is a sensible one-device option. Anker’s maximum is 20V/3.25A; the connected device and cable negotiate the actual draw. A laptop requiring more power may charge slowly under load or reject an undersized adapter. Check its specified USB-C input before buying. Anker specifications

What the independent measurements show

Kathleen Chapman of The Gadgeteer measured about 38–40W to her Lenovo Yoga 730, close to her reading from its OEM 65W adapter, and about 31W to a 2018 12.9-inch iPad Pro. Her adapter felt warm but not unusually hot. These review-unit observations do not establish sustained output at the full 65W ceiling. The Gadgeteer review

Will PPS deliver Samsung’s fastest charging?

The exact Amazon listing calls the charger PPS, but Anker’s US A2663 output table lists fixed profiles without an explicit PPS voltage/current range. That leaves the supported PPS range unclear from Anker’s published table. Anker says Samsung Super Fast Charging is supported while specifically excluding 45W Super Fast Charging 2.0 for the S22 Ultra. For stable S22-series charging, Anker recommends the original or a 5A E-marker cable. Check your phone’s actual charging mode if a particular speed matters. Anker specifications

Price and reasons to skip

Anker’s US store showed $29.99 and in stock on September 30, 2026 for A2663. That is a dated Anker direct-store price, not an Amazon price; the exact Amazon ASIN B08T5QN2TR showed no featured offer when checked, and its price or availability may differ. Check the merchant page before ordering. Anker US store Amazon listing

Skip this one-port charger if you need a laptop and phone charging together. A multi-port model can help, but check its power allocation: the Anker Prime 9.6K Fusion shares its 65W total across two ports. For laptop charging away from an outlet, consider the Anker 25K power bank instead.

Bottom line

One port is enough if you charge devices in turns and your laptop or phone accepts the A2663’s available power. Include a suitable cable in your budget; choose a higher-power or multi-port charger when your laptop’s requirement or device count exceeds its limits.
