Customer Review
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 8, 2022
The main reason for purchasing this is to charge my M1 MacBook Pro and 2017 12.9 Inch iPad Pro simultaneously. When I originally got the power bank I charged it back up to full capacity. I ran into a few minor issues with the charging of my iPad Pro in terms of speed but it has calmed down as of late. I've run quite a few tests to see what it's capable of. UPDATE

It does come with a short 140 Watt USB C Cable to charge the power bank but it does NOT come with a wall charger to power it.
Pros
- Recharges quickly with a 100 Watt or higher charger(sold separately)
- Recharges laptops at full speed and can trickle charge two high-end laptops
- Smart display indicates tons of useful information such as battery percentage and wattage charging
- Small enough to fit into a backpack
Cons
- Expensive($149.99)
- Doesn't come with a wall charger
- Occasionally has issues charging 2017 iPad Pro
Overall, if you have a high-end USB-C laptop such as the 16-inch MacBook Pro, this is the best choice to go for in the sub-$200 range. Your laptop will thank you later
