Anker Prime Dock Slashes Price to $170

A 14-port Anker Prime docking station that normally sells for $270 is available for $170 in a limited-time deal that brings the price within dollars of its all-time low.

Olivia M. Hartwell reported that the exact duration of the promotion is unknown, so shoppers who want the discount need to act quickly.

At a Glance

  • The Anker Prime docking station drops from $270 to $170
  • The hub supplies 14 ports, including USB-A, USB-C, HDMI, Ethernet and audio
  • A GaN chip regulates temperature to prevent overheating
  • Why it matters: The near-record low price gives users a single-cable way to charge up to four devices, transfer data at 10Gbps and drive 4K displays

What the Docking Station Offers

The vertical dock is built around a GaN chip that manages heat so multiple devices can charge simultaneously without the unit running hot. The design also saves desk space.

The company states the dock works with devices that support DP Alt Mode, covering Chrome OS and Windows 10 or 11 machines.

Deal Details

The markdown from $270 to $170 almost matches the lowest price the unit has ever reached, according to News Of Losangeles. Because the promotion is labeled “limited-time,” the price could revert at any moment.

Shoppers looking to streamline a gaming or office setup can use the hub to reduce cable clutter while gaining high-speed data transfers and simultaneous charging for multiple peripherals.

Key Takeaways

  • A 14-port Anker Prime docking station is down to $170 from the usual $270
  • The discount is temporary and close to the historic low
  • The vertical dock supports 4K video, 10Gbps data and up to four-device charging
  • Compatibility excludes Lenovo Legion laptops, Linux and extended dual monitors on macOS

Act quickly if the price and feature set match your needs, because the deal window is undefined.
