The Anker Laptop Power Bank (25K, 165W) is a portable charger with a 25,000 mAh capacity, available at a price of 99.99 euros (in 2026). For a journalist operating in the field, this device provides a practical solution for maintaining battery life on essential work equipment, especially a computer and a smartphone.

The unit features three USB-C ports capable of delivering up to 100W each, which allows a laptop, such as a MacBook, to be powered concurrently with a mobile phone without experiencing a decrease in charging speed. This capability is highly relevant for reporters who need to write articles, process media, and communicate with their newsroom when standard power outlets are completely unavailable.

The power bank can charge up to four devices simultaneously by utilizing its dual integrated USB-C cables, one USB-C port, and one USB-A port. The built-in cables—one being retractable up to 70 cm and the other functioning as a durable carrying lanyard—eliminate the need to pack and manage separate charging cords during field assignments. Additionally, the unit features a display that provides clear information on the charging status of all connected devices. While customer feedback indicates that the device has a compact form factor, it is also noted to be relatively heavy to carry.

When the power bank’s own battery is depleted, it supports an ultra-fast 100W recharge that restores 30% of its total capacity in just 20 minutes. Overall, it serves as a functional and reliable energy reserve for professionals who depend heavily on their electronic hardware in unpredictable environments.
