What is it?
A power bank capable of charging all your devices quickly on the go.
Good points?
Incorporating a massive 20800mAh battery capacity with 15 watts of wireless charging and 100 watts of full speed-cabled charging to MacBook and laptop devices. In real world terms this equates to 60 per cent from a one-hour charge which can be invaluable in situations when you have no outlet access.
Smaller gadgets, such as an iPhone 13 Pro, can be powered for an additional 75 hours and charged without the need for a cable. This convenience is facilitated by the magnetic surface which snaps your portable device in place and holds it safely.
Covered in a striking fabric that is both durable and aesthetically pleasing, the unit has a premium feel which is added to by a digital display providing charging status indication.
Weighing 480 grams (17 ounces) and measuring 19.5 x 8 x 2.5 cm (7.7 x 3.3 x 1 in) the bank is not overly chunky and fits easily into bag pouches or larger coat pockets.
Various modern connectivity methods are catered for including wireless, USB-A output, USB-C2 output (high-speed charging) and USB-C1 input/output.
Bad points?
The charger’s power button needs to be pressed for the magnetic function to operate. It would have been nice for the device to recognise this automatically through a light sensor, but I understand this would consume valuable power.
Best for ...
Those with multiple devices that need one powering solution for them all.
Avoid if ...
You only require a small portable power bank to take care of your smartphone while on the move.
Score: 9/10.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
