There are thousands of power banks on the market right now. Almost like cell phones the market is extremely saturated with different devices from different companies. So why pick this particular power bank over other huge name brand products such as Anker....UGREEN....etc? To be perfectly honest the fact that for the same price that you can get The Anker version of this same power bank it only has half the capacity. This one runs at a massive 40,000 mAh. Which for the price is easily one of the best I've ever used. I have a switch, my tablet, two cell phones, and a whole bunch of camera gear that needs to be charged and if I ever forget to charge my stuff I can guarantee that this power bank is going to be there to charge everything to full without me even having to worry about not having enough energy. This thing charges super fast! But you got to make sure that you have the right wall outlet. Just because it can accept the 140W charging capability does not mean that your output is going to be that much. But that is actually something I really like about this device is that it actually tells you how much you're charging it up. So that way you know how long it's going to take and so on. Really cool stuff on the display. Speaking of the display it's really no different than its counterparts telling you it's input and output wattage but the one thing that I have to say is a little bit of a downside is the brightness of the screen. Not as bright as I wish it was but that's not a major killer for me. Now this thing is an absolute beast it does way quite a bit. It's fairly hefty and the size is fairly large that you can't exactly fit it in your everyday pocket but if you have a macbook an iPhone airpods and basically everything that you need in your day-to-day life this thing will charge all of that with zero issues. What's this one apart is the fact that it has an actual dedicated "In" charging port in the back so you don't actually have to give up the three in the front and what's nice is as far as I've noticed you can charge the devices through this while you're charging this however it does prioritize charging the devices first so it won't start charging itself until it detects that the devices being plugged into it are fully charged. Please be aware of that. Once again that being said this product is absolutely worth the price over its counterparts and if you are seeking to get one of these it is a great gift. That being said. While the product itself is very well made feels great in the hand and is fantastic to have especially if you're a heavy technology user like I am, the build quality comes into question. Why five stars you ask if the build quality is a problem? Well that's because everything like this will do the same thing. So don't let that be a killer for you if you drop it and all of a sudden the thing blows apart. It's super heavy, super dense so yeah if you drop it off your desk be prepared for cracking plastic or broken screen. So once again please do not let the fact of that deter you from buying this product so long as you take care of it I guarantee you it'll take care of you! Read more

FINALLY, a USB power brick that looks professional, and performs as advertised, and above all: is actually safe to use, from my experience, on long flights. I am very pleased. Pros: * wattage and battery cell capacity, when tested by me, are very much on-par with specifications * SIMPLE, and very professional engineering: there are no gimmicky/embarrassing baloney on this device such as built-in flashlights, LED readouts, toggle switches, hooks, cords, dog leashes, mace dispensers etc., and/or internal nonsense like buzzers, beepers and/or crappy battery cells. This one, honestly, is properly engineered, and withstood six months of heavy use by me. * Looks professional: It does look as pictured. Reminds me of something I might purchase from a certain high-end camera company beginning with "N." * Faster than expected recharge time when using a 65-watt USB-C wall charger (but... no wall charger is included with this unit). * High quality USB-C cable included with the unit--more durable than I thought it would be. Cons: * wall charger sold separately, but any USB-C wall charger will indeed charge this thing. I bought this to power my ancient 2014 15" Apple MacBook Pro. This computer is terrible with power efficiency and is actually capable of actually drawing 90 watts when all CPU cores are throttled to maximum capacity. This unit can handle the 90 watts, even when my laptop battery is completely drained. Takeaway: the unit is SAFE under this condition. It does not get hot (hardly gets warm) when drawing 90 watts for extended periods of time (measured by wattage readout on a not-included USB-C cable). This tells me it was properly engineered. Some things to consider: * if you wish to draw 90 watts, you MUST do so via the USB-C port. Reason: USB-A jacks can't handle this kind of draw. (This is not a limitation of the power bank. Rather, it has to do with a limitation of the USB-A jack itself--USB-A ports simply can't draw this much power--simple as that.) * Apple customers with old laptops can search on Amazon for, i.e. "USB C Female to Magnetic 2 T Tip" for a suitable adapters. * A USB-C to USB-C cable that contains a tiny LED readout for wattage draw at one of the two connector ends, is a really good idea. The company that makes this block also sells one of these. * A 65W USB-C wall charger handy to charge this thing VERY quickly. (I was super lucky, and bought 65W wall charger bundled with USB-C cable w/ LED readout, made by this same manufacturer, during an Amazon "lightening" deal.) Note for USA flight travelers: I had no issues whatsoever with TSA in multiple states. Read more

Big capacity, PD charging, pass through, great status display. I bought this for extended operation and portability (away from a mains plugin) of my HP laptop. It does all of that. I haven't seen 140W, as my laptop only pulls 100W, but it is working very well. This is a quality item. It is heavy, but that is to be expected given the capacity. I am able to run/charge my laptop and cell phone at high rates without any problem. Because there is a pass through charging capability, it can be charged while in-line with the laptop power supply and powering my laptop. Note that due to the high wattage charging you must use cables th as the are capable of handling the power rating. This is good tech. The only thing I would request is a semi-rigid case for it.
