Goal Zero’s model has a more industrial feel if you’re after something reassuringly robust, and the wireless pad is an excellent addition, though it is quite pricey. Jackery’s powerbank is also a more heavyweight proposition, with a bunch of outdoor-centric features that will be great for some people but overkill for others. Mophie’s model is the sleekest of the bunch, though it’s also a little expensive considering it has fewer features than the others.
While it might not have the highest capacity on test, Anker’s powerbank makes up for it elsewhere. It’s the only model on test that can deliver 140W down a single port, enough for the latest large notebooks. It can be recharged quickly, offers excellent visual feedback, and has a sleek and portable design. While our tests were with the biggest MacBook Pro, many users will have 13or 14-inch models, a MacBook Air, or even just an iPad and iPhone. In these cases, the Anker’s performance is even better, allowing around 1.3 full charges of a MacBook Air (M2), for example. Overall it’s the perfect balance of features.
