Anker has been surprisingly good. I worried they were a Chinese faux brand but everything I’ve gotten has been solid and well made.


The Chinese are definitely capable of producing great products, it's just that the quality control for that is only there for name- / high-end- / West-controlled brands.

I believe the Chinese government is keen to get rid of the crappy reputation Chinese products carry ("Chinesium"), but its gonna be a process.


I recently got a 67W PD changer from Toocki on AliExpress, it actually delivers enough power to charge my laptop (via a USB-C to barrel jack adapter) reliably, and for 12$

I originally thought there was no way these work as advertised, but I saw a guy I know using one to charge his laptop, and he has the engineering knowledge to properly test it so I decided to go with his recommendation
