"Buying a charger directly from Apple is like paying a luxury price for basic functionality. A 70W USB-C power adapter from Apple's official store costs $59 and if you want a USB-C cable to go along with it, you're adding another $19 to $29 depending on the length. That's close to $90 before tax for slower charging speeds than what this Anker charger delivers."
"The 100W output on this charger means you're getting enough juice to fast-charge even the most power-hungry MacBooks. Apple's 16-inch MacBook Pro with the M1 Max chip reaches 100% battery in just 1 hour and 20 minutes with this charger and matches the performance of Apple's 140W charger in most charging scenarios. The difference comes down to the power delivery protocols: both chargers support USB Power Delivery 3.0, which intelligently negotiates the right amount of power for your device."
Apple's official chargers are expensive, with a 70W USB-C adapter at $59 and cables adding $19–$29, nearing $90 before tax for slower charging. Anker's 100W USB-C charger with a 5-foot USB-C-to-USB-C cable is offered for $21 in a limited deal, down from $27. The 100W output fast-charges high-end MacBooks and matches Apple's 140W charger in most scenarios by using USB Power Delivery 3.0. Anker's PowerIQ 3.0 automatically negotiates device-appropriate power for phones and laptops. The included 5-foot, 100W-capable cable eliminates the need to buy a separate high-wattage cable.
