Very useful.The regular plugs give you additional possibilities to use it.

As a tech enthusiast juggling multiple devices, the Anker Nano Charging Station (100W Max) has been a game-changer. Its 7-in-1 design includes 2 USB-C ports, 2 USB-A ports, and 3 AC outlets, allowing me to charge my MacBook, iPhone, and other gadgets simultaneously. The compact and sleek design fits perfectly on my desk without cluttering the space. The only minor drawback is that it could use an additional USB-C port, but that's a small trade-off for its overall performance. If you're looking for a versatile and powerful charging solution, this station is a top contender.

So many things are now powered off USB-C so I can charge my Mac Air and iPhone off the 2 C ports and use the 'legacy' USB ports to keep my headset and a flashlight charged. Then I can plug my second monitor, amplified speakers, and one thing into the outlets in the rear then plug this single power brick into my home power to clean up the cables while allowing me to leave my mac power brick in my travel backpack so its ready for travel all the time. Very happy with this purchase and other Anker products that I have purchased over the years.

Amazing product and exactly what I expected it to be.

Big fan of Anker products and they’ve done it again! I have several Anker charging stations in various models and configurations that I use for different things. This one sits on my desk in my office an charges my laptop on a dock as well as my iPad. It looks great, and is sturdy. Would def recommend.
