My honest opinions on what to actually buy.
Anker 8K HDMI 2.1 Cable
Why: Ultra High Speed certified. I recommend this because it's one of the few that actually handles 4K@120Hz without flickering on PS5/Xbox.
Anker 765 USB-C (140W)
Why: Braided and durable. It has the required E-Marker chip for high-wattage charging. I use this for my own MacBook Pro.
Anker 735 GaNPrime 65W
Why: Smallest 3-port charger that safely handles a laptop and phone simultaneously. GaN technology keeps it cool.
Cable Matters TB4 Cable
Why: Intel certified. If you need 40Gbps data or dual 4K monitors, don't cheap out on generic USB-C—get this one.
Cable Matters Snagless Cat6a
Why: Pure copper conductors. Most cheap Ethernet cables are CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum), which is brittle. This is the real deal.
Anker 737 (PowerCore 24K)
Why: The only bank I trust for the Steam Deck. It can output 140W, meaning it charges your laptop as fast as a wall plug.
