Anker GaN Prime 747 vs 737 - Design Differences

I just bought one of the new Anker GaN Prime Chargers, and couldn't decide which model I wanted until I thought that ONE of them might have a possible ergonomic issue.

So, I thought I'd share my.........thoughts.

I hope this video helps you decide.

That makes sense. Thanks so much. Literally just prior to watching your video. I bought the 737 directly from Anker. Then after watching your total sense. So... immediately canceled the 737 and bought a 747 and 140-watt usb c chord as well on an awesome sale and used the "pay 4" option. So happy. Great advice.

Thanks for the video. I just ordered the Anker 747 power bank and 747 PrimeGAN charger for use with my Galaxy Tab S8+ and S22 Ultra

Note that the Anker 747 has issues charging many Lenovo laptops such as Lenovo Yoga 9i and Slim Pro. I have 6 chargers which are able to charge at 100 watts or more but the Anker 747 is only able to charge up to 13 watts on my Lenovo 9i whereas the rest can charge up to 90+ watts. Apparently there are some compatibility issues between Anker and some Lenovo laptops. These incompatibility issues are also mentioned in reddit by Anker users

When you tried the 737 and 747, I agree with the concerns, but was wondering if you tried them on different sockets and how many showed the issue. I know it depends on the socket and all that

I saw a content creator that used a 240w GaN charger and that one unit powered ALL of his filming setup. Lighting, LED strips, Camera, Mic.. all through that one charger. That's a HUGE game-changer.. We can have a full suite for creation carried that much easier. As power supplies have tended to be the most heavy and cumbersome pieces of kit.

I don't buy Anker GaN anymore.. to expensive and a generation behind. Satechi is great for high wattage, Mokin is great for lower.

It comes with suction cup rubber adapter that is supposed to prevent that. Did you not get that in the box?

Hi! Can 150w charger split charging to 100 + 40?

Hi. Random question. What cases/shells do you use with your Macbooks???

I’m from the U.K. where we have the “G-Type” plugs. I’ve been to over 32 states in the USA and set up a PhD in Ohio (didn’t do it because of a girl 😅). There are many things I like about the USA but your power outlets aren’t good. Any weight or load and you’re correct, the plug just falls out of the socket. Particularly in hotels where they have had plenty of use. For reference mate check out the U.K. Irish Singapore Malaysia G-Type outlets, they’re very solid. In fact they’re sometimes too stiff, particularly for older folks. But they don’t budge. Happy holidays over your side of the pond. Love the content. 👍

There are little plastic inserts you can get for loose outlets and also the Apple ones are not all that secure the one my dad has for his laptop falls out of the wall all the time doesn't matter the socket really it's just so big and heavy

The 747 is not available in the UK and the 737 has fixed prongs and a smaller version of the faceplate built in.
This keeps the 737 stable while used horizontally in a wall outlet.

i have iphone and airpods and im about to buy apple watch in future, should i buy 747 or 737?

[bengbeng]

I THINK 737 YOU COULD PLUG IT IN REVERSED SO IT WON'T FALL OUT OR LOSE GRIP YEAH? WERE THE TYPE A PORT IS IN THE UPPER POSITION INSTEAD ON DOWN POSITION.

BECAUSE I THINK YOU PLUG IT WERE 737 CAN'T GET A GRIP TO THE WALL SOCKET.

I might be wrong or right too?

[rickstirling]

Simple solution I have used for years. Get a 12-18 inch AC extension cord.

[Bullfighter]

It’s an option not a requirement so use or don’t use

[nicomilord]

the anker 737 ganprime is pretty buggy doesnt show 2.0 ultra fast charging on my tab s8 ultra. doe the 747 shows fast charging 2.0 ?

[bobtausworthe]

OMG dude all that talk about plugging into wall (then you plug it into power strip which doesn't have that problem). But never do you plug more than one device into either Anker charger so we can see how well they can deal with multiple devices! The biggest difference between all the PD chargers is )how they behave with multiple devices. What a waste of my time.

[Whitepinoy]

but with anker gives you more ports than apple

[jeanbaptistelabelle]

US plug are so bad. This suction thing because US does not have plug that just work... Fortunately Anker made EU version which is great.

Buy a desk top charger, problem solved
