Overview
Anker's Nano 70W has two USB-C ports rated at 70W each when used alone, plus a 33W USB-A port. It weighs a stated 120g and has a foldable plug.
With two ports in use Anker lists two possible modes: 45W + 22.5W, or 60W + 5W. It doesn't say exactly when the second mode engages, so we only rely on the 45W + 22.5W split. All three ports together give 45W + 7.5W + 7.5W.
Best for: Travelling with a laptop, phone and earbuds.

Editor's notes
- Laptops up to ~70W alone; 45W when sharing.
- Laptop plus phone: 45W + 22.5W.
- Three devices: 45W + 7.5W + 7.5W, fine for a watch or earbuds, slow for a phone.
Based on published specifications and typical power needs for each device type, one device at a time. It isn't a guarantee for a specific model, so check your device's own charging specs.
