Power Banks
The best power banks for travel, laptops, and iPhones, ranked by capacity, wattage, and weight.
The right power bank depends entirely on what you charge. A laptop needs wattage, a week of travel needs capacity, and a day hike needs low weight. Buying on milliamp-hours alone is how people end up with a brick that cannot charge their computer.
This guide ranks four banks that each win a distinct use case: a 120 W all-rounder, a value laptop charger, an ultralight travel bank, and a magnetic iPhone battery. Every pick lists honest limitations alongside its strengths.
