The media could not be loaded. I’ve been living with this brick for a few weeks, and it’s officially replaced two things on my desk and in my backpack: my old 65 W wall charger and the chunky power bank I used to carry “just in case.” Here’s why it’s sticking around.Raw power in a carry-on-safe package200 W total output (two USB-C, one USB-A) means I can push 100 W into my MacBook Air and still have 100 W left to split between an iPhone and iPad.Anker100 W input on recharge, so topping the pack itself takes a little over an hour if you have a 100 W charger, or just drop it on the included base and walk away.AnkerThe 20,000 mAh cell works out to ≈ 74 Wh; after conversion losses, I see roughly 63 Wh usable, which in real life has given me:3-ish full charges on an iPhone 16 Pro MaxOne complete refill of my 13-inch M4 MacBook Air’s 53.8 Wh batterySoporte AppleA charge-and-a-half on my 11-inch M4 iPad Pro (31.29 Wh)Soporte AppleAll of that and it’s under the TSA 100 Wh limit, so it slides through airport security without raised eyebrows.AnkerDock life = desk lifeThe magnetic base is the secret sauce. At home, it lives on my nightstand, acting like a tiny charging station, same ports, same speeds. Grab the pack, pop it off the pogo pins, and I’m out the door with 200 W in my hand.Nerdy extras I useReal-time OLED read-out for watts in/out and capacity. Freakishly satisfying to watch a laptop gulp 96 W.Trickle-charge mode for AirPods (double-tap the power button).Anker’s ActiveShield 2.0 temp management kicks the fan in the dock if things get toasty. Haven’t heard it once, but it’s there.Trade-offsPrice – It’s premium. If you just need to juice a phone, this is overkill.Weight – About a pound in the hand; not crazy for 20 k mAh, but you’ll notice it in a sling bag.No wireless pad on top – A Qi coil would have been chef’s-kiss, but I’ll trade that for the higher port power any day.Bottom lineIf your kit includes USB-C laptops plus phones/tablets and you bounce between desk, coffee shop, and plane seats, this is an all-in-one charger that earns its space. For me, the combination of desktop dock + 200 W on the go is worth the cost and the heft.Anker didn’t pay me for this review; I bought the unit with my own money.

tl,dr:Pros:CompactCharges up to 2 supported devices at 100W eachCan be charged at up to 100W itselfDisplay is informative and usefulIncludes 140W cableCan be charged with an optional dockDid not give me hotdog fingersCons:A little priceyDoesn't include charging brickIncluded cable is shortDid not give me Kung Fu abilities**Edit**The power bank might need its battery calibrated before the display will read out accurately. After using it a handful of times over the past week, I noticed that the battery seemed to be draining REALLY fast when the only thing it was charging was my phone. Like, it went from 100% down to below 70% after only charging my phone 30%. My phone has a 4000mAh battery, so I thought this surely couldn't be right.So, here's what I did:1: I completely drained the battery by using it to charge my laptop (so that it would drain faster.)2: After it stopped charging my laptop and displayed 0%, I plugged it into a 45W wall charger.3: I kept checking the display on the power bank to see if I noticed anything... odd.4: Once the power bank hit 80%, it started climbing REALLY fast, but the incoming wattage stayed the same. That certainly seemed odd.5: After the display showed 100%, I left it plugged in for another 30 minutes. (Also, after the first 10 minutes passed, it still felt warm, like it was actually still charging.)6: After 30 minutes, the power bank felt cooler to the touch, so I suspect it finally stopped charging.7: When my phone was running low again, I charged it with the power bank again, and the display seems MUCH more accurate now (after charging my phone 30%, the power bank's display shows 95% remaining, which seems more realistic.)Review:I wanted a power bank that was capable of giving my laptop a quick boost without being a bulky monstrosity. I was debating between this one and the Anker 737, and ultimately decided on this one mostly due to it being a little more compact (with slightly less capacity, of course) and also liked the idea that I could charge two supported devices at a full 100W each at the same time, if needed.First impressions are good. It's compact enough to stow away easily in my backpack while also providing a generous 20,000mAh, which is plenty for my needs. It comes with a nice, soft travel pouch, and a USB-C to USB-C cable that's rated for 140W. It does NOT come with its own charging brick (I knew this ahead of time, but it's something to be aware of.) I used an Anker 65W charger to charge this up, and it did pull the full 65W and charged up nice and quick.The bottom of the power bank is actually magnetic. I accidentally discovered this when I set it down on my metal filing cabinet. This is likely to keep it attached to the optional charging dock, so that's good to know.The display is nice and informative. It'll show more information with multiple button presses, and also let's you change some settings (screen timeout, brightness.)I tested this out on my laptop - an Asus ROG Zephyrus G15. Its USB-C ports are rated for 100W max, and the display on the power bank was showing between 97 and 98 Watts, so for me, it worked as expected. With my phone (a OnePlus 7 Pro) it was only pulling about 8 Watts, but this phone uses a proprietary charging standard and only charges at full speed with its own branded charging brick. Charging speed will depend on your device, so if it uses a different standard or anything, you might not see the full 100 Watts. I'd check your devices' specs before purchasing.Being 20,000mAh, this probably won't fully charge my laptop (I also knew this ahead of time) but it's plenty for a quick boost when I need it. I'm a frequent road-tripper and find myself off the grid often, so this will be a great travel companion that doesn't take up too much space in my bag.(Side note: I also dig the reference to a fantastic multiverse movie in Anker's marketing here.)
