Two computers can be a real reason
A shared workbench with two USB-C-powered laptops is a more convincing reason to consider A2342 than a desire for the largest charging number. This is the Prime 240 W desktop model with three USB-C ports and one USB-A port, not the similarly named 250 W six-port product. The exact model matters because the available combinations are part of what is being bought.
The top port changes the choice
Anker's support table allows USB-C1 plus USB-C2 or USB-C3 at up to 140 W plus 100 W. In contrast, USB-C2 and USB-C3 together have a combined 100 W maximum. Two adjacent USB-C sockets therefore do not represent two independent 100 W allocations in that pairing. That difference gives a two-computer shortlist a specific configuration to investigate.
One shared remainder
For three-port combinations using C1, the support table groups the other selected ports into a 100 W pool alongside C1's 140 W maximum. Adding a third device therefore belongs in the same power plan, rather than being treated as an independent spare socket.
A stationary object
The Vietnamese manufacturer page corroborates A2342 and describes a detachable base. A fixed place for several leads can be useful at a shared workbench. That physical role is distinct from the available power: a tidy stand does not change how the ports share their allocation.
Where it earns its place
Keep this charger on the list when those documented combinations fit the devices that actually share the desk. Keep looking when the plan relies on both C2 and C3 independently providing 100 W together, or on replacing a device's unsupported proprietary power arrangement. Required cables and regional mains equipment remain separate details of the complete setup.
