That said, its also available in black if that will blend in better with your decor or devices.
Regardless of the color you choose, the Anker MagGo retails for $99.99.
One nice touch comes in the built-in power cable.
With Qi2 wireless charging, up yo 67W of power through its USB-C and USB-A ports, and built-in surge protection with three AC outlets, the Anker MagGo Magnetic Charging Station (8-in-1) has all of your power needs covered, even if it takes some reaching to plug everything in.
The location of the USB ports isnt bad, at least on its own.
This would be fine if it wasnt for the location of the AC outlets.
All three of the AC outlets are located above the USB ports.

If youre only plugging in one machine into the outlets, this isnt much of a problem.
You may have luck with a USB-C cable, but even that will take some hunting.
This isnt the end of the world, but it isnt very convenient.

The three AC outlets arent just straight passthrough, they also include surge protection.
Wireless Charging: Qi2, Not MagSafe, But Who Cares?
Of course, the angle and the magnetic nature mean that this charger works best with iPhones.

Attaching an iPhone works in both portrait and landscape orientations.
This means that an iPhones StandBy mode will work as intended when using this charger.

Should You Buy the Anker MagGo Magnetic Charging Station (8-in-1)?
