    A fast charger for your most power-hungry USB-C devices.

    Anker’s Prime charging station with 250W of total concurrent charging power spread across six ports (four USB-C, two USB-A) is back down to $99.99 at Amazon and Anker. It has been a few weeks since this model, which can deliver up to 140W through one port, last sold at $50 off.

    Belkin’s new Switch 2 charging case earns its $100 price.

    Belkin’s $100 Charging Case Pro for the Switch 2 looks similar to the $70 version; it’s a thick zip-up case with a 10,000mAh battery, plus pockets for cartridges and an AirTag. But the battery here, cleverly redesigned as a folding stand that magnetically snaps into the case, makes it feel worth the higher cost.

    The section that connects to the Switch 2 articulates, letting you adjust the viewing angle as you please. And, no, the outer USB-C charging port doesn’t support video-out. I tried!

    Xreal’s One Pro glasses with a 57-degree field of view are $50 off.

    The company’s best video glasses are the One Pro, which are down to $599 (usually $649) at Amazon. They have the widest field of view in its portfolio, letting you see a bigger screen than the $449 Xreal 1S. Plus, it’s getting the 1S’ marquee feature, Real 3D, via a January 23rd update.
