Head-to-head · Brand vs brand
Statik vs Anker: one good product against a whole catalogue.
Statik's argument is one 65W three-port GaN cube at an aggressive price per watt. Anker's is that it sells a correct adapter at every wattage from 20W upward, and has done so long enough for the failure data to be public.
Spec-by-spec
| Spec | Statik | Anker |
|---|---|---|
| Catalogue depth | Narrow — a small range centred on travel charging | Deep — dozens of models, 20W to 250W-class |
| Flagship product | 65W GaN three-port travel cube | Nano compacts and Prime / 7-series desk units |
| Typical port layout | 2× USB-C, 1× USB-A | Anything from 1× C to 4 mixed ports |
| Wattage ceiling | Mid-range, laptop-capable | Well past 200W on desk models |
| Size / weight class | Pocket GaN cube, folding prongs | Smallest-in-class at the Nano end; larger desk bricks |
| Input voltage | 100–240V, travel-ready | 100–240V, travel-ready |
| Price per watt | Aggressive at 65W | Competitive, rarely the cheapest |
| Best suited to | One-bag travellers, ultrabook plus phone | Anyone whose needs may change wattage |
Where Statik wins
The 65W three-port class, on price. Sixty-five watts is the most useful single number in charging: it fast-charges any phone, runs a MacBook Air or an ultrabook at full speed, and still has enough left for a tablet on a second port. Statik's cube does that with folding prongs and 100–240V input, so with a plug adapter it is a complete travel kit — see plug adapter vs converter for why that is all you need abroad. If your requirement is one brick, three devices, in a carry-on, buying more brand is spending on catalogue you will not use.
Where Anker wins
Everywhere your needs are not exactly 65W. Anker has a correct answer at 20W, 30W, 45W, 65W, 100W, 140W and beyond, which matters because charger buying is rarely a one-time event — a new laptop moves the target. It also wins on two things a narrow catalogue cannot buy: a decade-plus of field history, and a returns process attached to mainstream retail rather than one direct-to-consumer storefront.

Verdict
Buy Anker for most people. Not because the Statik cube is bad — it is a legitimately good 65W travel charger — but because the odds that 65W with three ports is permanently the right spec for you are low, and Anker is the brand that still has the right answer when a 14″ MacBook Pro or a 140W-class laptop arrives. Breadth plus track record plus a real support channel is worth a small premium. The exception is precise: if you want exactly one charger, exactly 65W, exactly three ports, for travel, and you are optimising cost per watt, the Statik cube is the better buy and you will not miss anything Anker offers.

FAQ
Is Statik a legitimate charger brand?
It is a direct-to-consumer accessory brand whose 65W GaN three-port charger is its best-known product. Judge it the way you would judge any brand: UL or ETL listing, a published per-port power table, and 100 to 240V input.
Can a 65W charger run a MacBook Pro?
It will run and charge a 14-inch MacBook Pro, but not at fast-charge speed — that needs 96W on the higher-end configurations. Under sustained heavy load a 65W supply may hold the battery level rather than raise it.
Which is better for international travel?
Either, as long as the label reads 100 to 240V, which both do. Pack the charger plus a plug adapter for the destination's prong shape; no voltage converter is required for USB-C chargers.
