Anker Prime 14-in-2 Docking Station (Thunderbolt 4/USB4 / 14 Ports + Built-In Charger / 140W Host Charging / Dual 4K@60Hz / Mac/Windows / ~$280) Review
The Anker Prime 14-in-2 Docking Station builds a dual-outlet AC power adapter directly into a 14-port Thunderbolt 4 dock, letting it function as both a laptop charger and a full docking station from a single wall connection.
Anker's Prime charging line is normally sold as standalone GaN wall chargers; this dock merges that lineup with its docking hardware so the two built-in AC outlets can power a monitor, lamp, or second charger directly from the dock itself, while the dock simultaneously charges the laptop at 140W over Thunderbolt 4. It's the only product in this catalog that replaces both a dock and a wall charger with one device, which matters on desks with limited outlets.
Comparison to Alternatives
Against the CalDigit TS4, the TS4 offers slightly more total ports, but neither it nor almost any other dock in the catalog includes a built-in AC power outlet, which is the Prime 14-in-2's clearest differentiator for outlet-starved desks. Against the Anker 777 Thunderbolt Docking Station (Apex), Anker's own 777 focuses on dual HDMI output instead, while the Prime 14-in-2 prioritizes consolidating a wall charger and a dock into one device.
