The heads-up, almost dashboard-like unit delivers on all of the usual charging prowess you would expect from a device like this, but with some serious output wattage to support even your most power hungry of gear alongside a conversation-starting display that would even have this tech writer saying something like, “what do we have here?” if I happened upon it for the first time in your setup. Now available for purchase with a nice launch discount, head below for more details on the new Anker Prime Charging Station.

One of them jumps straight from beloved literature/film series Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, while the other is a slice of life diorama straight out of the Italian Riviera.
