Picked up the Anker nano power bank for daily carry. It’s tiny and the built-in USB-C cable is surprisingly convenient so I don’t have to dig for cords. It gives my phone a solid boost and saved me once when my tablet was low on a train. Not 100% sure it will handle heavier laptop use, but for daily travel and emergencies it works fine. Happy with it so far.
Picked one up as well, handy size for tossing in a pocket. Only gripe is the plastic scuffs super quick, already has a few marks after a week. Works fine otherwise but not sure it’ll look nice long term.
Bought one recently and it hardly weighs anything, so I keep forgetting it’s in my pocket until I need it. Feels pretty solid for a tiny thing, but maybe long-term durability is a question. Works fine for my commute so far.
Yeah I think I get what you mean. It’s nice having something that actually fits in a pocket without feeling like a brick. I’m not totally sure about the cable long term either but so far it’s been fine for me.
I’d actually go the other way. 10,000mAh feels a bit light for me, especially if you’re planning to use it with a laptop at all. I’d rather carry a slightly bigger brick that actually gets the job done.
The built-in cable is honestly the main reason I’d consider one. I’m tired of carrying extra cords for something that should just work on its own.
The built-in cable is honestly the main draw here, but I’m still on the fence about the 10,000mAh capacity. I keep wondering if I’ll regret it when I need to top up more than just my phone in a day. Guess I’ll find out eventually.
The built-in cable is a game changer for me, I keep losing those tiny charging cords in my bag. I’ve been eyeing this one for a while, how’s the heat when it’s charging your phone? My current one gets warm enough to make me nervous.
I dunno, I think the whole built in cable thing would annoy me after a while. If it breaks you’re stuck with a dead brick.
Glad I posted this thread. The points about the built in cable breaking are fair, but for how I use it just tossing it in a bag it’s been solid so far. No regrets on my end.
I’ve got one too. The built in cable is the main reason I grabbed it and yeah, it saves a lot of fumbling around in a bag. It gets my phone through a long day out without issue.
I think the built-in cable is what makes it worth considering, even if the capacity isn’t huge. I grabbed one mostly because I kept forgetting a separate cord, and that alone saves me from digging through my bag. Not totally sure it’s the best for anything bigger than a phone though.
The built-in cable is the only reason I grabbed one too. Honestly, mine lives in my bag and I barely think about it until my phone is almost dead, then it saves the day. I wouldn’t try to run a laptop off it, but for what it is it does the job. No complaints here.
Glad it’s working out for you too. I think the convenience factor really makes up for any concerns about capacity or laptop charging. It’s one of those things I just toss in my bag and forget about until I need it, and it’s been solid for that.
