Anker 675 Review 2026 - Specs, Pros & Cons

7.4 Very Good
Adrian Cel By Adrian Cel

The Anker 675, model A8377, is a 12-in-1 USB-C dock built into a fixed monitor stand. It is for a single-monitor desk that needs less cable clutter, more ports, and a convenient phone charging spot, rather than a conventional multi-display dock. Anker supplies a 180W power brick. The USB-C host connection can deliver up to 100W to a compatible laptop, while two downstream USB-C ports share 45W and the Qi pad charges at up to 10W. The dock also has three 10Gbps USB-A ports, HDMI 2.0 for one 4K display at 60Hz, Gigabit Ethernet, SD and microSD readers, and a 3.5mm combo audio jack. The stand is 21.26 inches wide and rated for a monitor up to 22 lb, with a cable-management channel underneath. Its USB-C host link is limited to 10Gbps, even when plugged into a Thunderbolt laptop. For video, the host must support DisplayPort Alt Mode. The USB-C ports are not video outputs, so this is not an answer for a dual-monitor setup.

Best USB-C dock and monitor stand for tidy single-screen desks

Pros & Cons

What We Like

  • Combines a monitor stand, USB-C dock, cable routing, and wireless phone pad in one desk accessory
  • Up to 100W laptop charging from the included 180W power supply
  • Five 10Gbps USB data ports cover fast storage and everyday peripherals
  • HDMI 2.0 delivers one 4K@60Hz external display on a compatible host
  • SD and microSD UHS-I readers, Gigabit Ethernet, and audio reduce the need for extra adapters
  • Built-in Qi pad supplies up to 10W for compatible phones

What Could Be Better

  • Only one HDMI display output, and the USB-C ports cannot drive monitors

    Workaround: Choose a dual-output USB-C dock, DisplayLink dock, or Thunderbolt dock if you need more than one external screen.

  • USB-C host connection tops out at 10Gbps rather than Thunderbolt bandwidth

    Workaround: Use a Thunderbolt dock if you regularly combine fast external storage with several high-resolution displays.

  • Fixed-height stand and 22 lb monitor-load rating limit desk and display choices

    Workaround: Check your monitor base dimensions and weight before ordering. Use a separate adjustable arm or stand if you need more height control.

  • Underside ports are harder to reach after a monitor is placed on the stand

    Workaround: Connect power, HDMI, Ethernet, and the host cable before placing the monitor on top.

  • Amazon feedback is mixed on connectivity and laptop charging behavior

    Workaround: Test the dock with your laptop, monitor, and peripherals during the return window. Use the supplied power adapter and a host port with both Power Delivery and DisplayPort Alt Mode.

Anker lists Windows 10 and 11. Full dock functionality needs a USB-C host with Power Delivery and DisplayPort Alt Mode or USB 3.2 Gen 2 support.

macOS (10.14+)

Anker lists macOS 10.14 and later. It is a one-HDMI USB-C dock, subject to the connected Mac's native external-display limit.

ChromeOS

Anker lists Chrome OS compatibility. The host needs the required USB-C video and charging capabilities for the full feature set.

Known Issues

USB-C laptops without DisplayPort Alt Mode

No HDMI video output

Dual-monitor setups

Only one external display is supported

High-bandwidth Thunderbolt workflows

Host link is limited to 10Gbps

Our Verdict

Very Good

The Anker 675 earns its place when the stand itself solves a desk problem. It replaces a monitor riser, a USB-C hub, a basic cable tray, and a phone charger with one solid piece of desktop hardware. Laptop Mag liked the fast ports, cable routing, and the 3.5-inch lift in testing. Tom's Guide also found setup simple and called out the useful mix of charging options. The hardware has limits that should be clear before you buy it. There is only one HDMI output, the stand height does not adjust, and the ports underneath are best connected before a monitor goes on top. The 10Gbps host connection is fine for peripherals and one 4K60 screen, but it is not Thunderbolt bandwidth for a heavy storage-and-display workflow. At its $249.99 list price, it also costs more than a separate basic monitor stand and hub. Amazon feedback is mixed at 4.1 out of 5 from 608 global ratings, with recurring comments on connectivity and power delivery. Buy it if a tidy, single-monitor laptop desk is the priority and your USB-C port supports both Power Delivery and DisplayPort Alt Mode. Choose a regular Thunderbolt dock or a dual-output USB-C dock if you need more screens, flexible stand height, or higher shared bandwidth.
