Why We Recommend the Anker 737 Power Bank (PowerCore 24K)
Most power banks force you to choose between capacity and speed. This one does both well. You can charge a MacBook Pro to 50% in just 30 minutes, which means you're getting real laptop charging, not just topping off your phone. The smart digital display shows you exactly how much power you have left, so there's no guessing when you need to recharge the bank itself. For people who work remotely or travel frequently, that's genuinely useful.
Key Features & Benefits
- Fast laptop charging: 140W output means you can actually power larger devices like MacBook Pro, not just phones and tablets
- Reasonable size for the capacity: 24,000mAh in a portable form factor means multiple full phone charges or one meaningful laptop top-up without carrying a brick
- Safety features that matter: ActiveShield 2.0 protects your devices from overcharging and temperature issues, which beats cheaper alternatives that skip these protections
- Digital display gives you real information: You can see remaining percentage at a glance instead of relying on LED indicators that tell you almost nothing
- 24,000mAh capacity
- 140W PD 3.1 output
- Smart digital display
Who Should Buy This
This is built for professionals, remote workers, and frequent travelers who rely on multiple devices. If you're someone who needs your laptop charged during a layover or working day, this is worth the investment.
Things to Consider
At $110 and weighing about 1.3 pounds, it's heavier and pricier than basic phone-only power banks—so if you just need emergency phone charging, a smaller 10,000mAh model would do the job for less money and less weight.
The Anker 737 offers higher capacity (24K mAh vs 20K) and faster charging speeds, making it ideal for heavy users or multiple devices. However, the Anker 325 provides excellent value with nearly identical reliability (4.7 vs 4.6 rating) at less than half the price, making it sufficient for most daily charging needs.
