This works well (I use to charge my macbook when I have no power - doesn’t fully charge it but does more than enough to be useful) but be sure to test it within Meh’s warranty period as the first one I got (sold 8/4/22 here) didn’t work. They replaced it and the second one does. It is heavy (around 1.3 pounds) It is also $10 cheaper than when I bought it.
PS I also haul it around when I am at places where convenient outlets to plug in aren’t available (like a certain Houston hospital’s clinics - go figure since they know we can be there for hours).
It’s cheaper on Amazon right now for the power bank and you get a usb-c cable and wall charger. The $20 coupon brings it down to $60 on Amazon. One of the rare not-good-at-all deals on the site I love.
I have one. I got it for traveling since it is close to the allowable battery limits in carry-ons and not crazy heavy. It can power a SteamDeck for several hours. Also works well to power an 2012 MacBook Air with an aftermarket usb-c to magsafe cable also for several hours.
@troy I just clicked our names in the email update and realized for the first time that we have meh profiles. You and I both are “hardcore meh fiends”. lol

Why do I not have permission to order this?
@bizecky Sorry about that – should be fixed now.
I have one of these. It charges everything! I’m getting a second one because the wife keeps stealing mine.

@gwrankin Nope – you’re looking at the 60W version. The 87W version is $99.99:

@gwrankin @troy You can still buy it used/good as new for $85, And comes with a 65W wall charger and a cable. Sounds like a better deal on Amazon.
@gwrankin @troy Where is that one? My laptop just needs 40w but I only see 30w and this one on Amazon.
@gwrankin @troy Nevermind. I found it.
