Hi guys , my macbook pro is 2018 core i7 6 cores 16 ram ,original charger is 87w
I use it on external monitor and headphones
My charger suddenly stoped working
I found an Anker 65W PIQ 3.0 PPS Fast Charger and the original charger from apple
i mostly use it for browsing

the ankar charger is 50$ and the original is 100$

which one should i get ?
the price isnt a big problem for me
I liked the anker charger because its smaller and compact

Anker are an excellent company; personally I'd go with their charger as long as it's powerful enough for the MBP.

Neither. Split the price difference and get the Anker 736 for $80 if you're ok waiting a couple of weeks for the restock. I have the Anker 735 and also highly recommend it if you absolutely need one now.

Amazon also has the one you mention for $40.

^^this.

The 65w is underpowered for the Mac you have when trying to keep charged, especially when using external devices that are not self powered.
