Anker Prime Charging Docking Station (14-in-1, Dual Display, 160W) review

The Anker Prime Charging Docking Station (model A83B6) replaces the Anker 568, which Anker's US store no longer lists. It is a USB-C dock rather than a Thunderbolt one: the upstream port runs at 10Gbps and sends up to 100W to the laptop, and a built-in 160W GaN power module removes the external brick. Anker lists 14 ports, including two HDMI 2.0 outputs, two USB-C charging ports rated up to 100W, a 12W USB-A charging port, four more USB-A ports, two 10Gbps USB-C data ports, Gigabit Ethernet and an audio jack. A small screen and the Dock Manager app let you set how power is split. Video is the weak spot. Anker says dual displays run at up to 2K 60Hz on a DP 1.4 laptop, and on macOS both monitors show the same picture. It was $179.99 on Anker's US store, $90 off its $269.99 list price. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the dock.
