WIRED Highlights Discounted Power Banks for Laptops, MagSafe Devices, and Apple Watch
WIRED Reviews has flagged a slate of portable charger discounts, noting that its staff has tested dozens of power banks individually and hundreds across the wider reviews team. The Shargeek 170 pairs a translucent housing with a 24,000-mAh capacity, a smart display, and Power Delivery support for fast-charging phones and laptops, topping off as many as three devices simultaneously. Anker's MagGo Power Bank (10K) (Qi2) charges wirelessly through a Qi2 plus MagSafe design and can switch to wired mode via an included USB-C cable, with a kickstand for propping a phone; it falls short of two full smartphone charges but stays small enough for a bag. A separate MagGo unit is built for the Apple Watch, holding enough power for eight or nine watch charges and doubling as a phone top-up through an attached USB-C cable. The Picogo Qi2 25W MagSafe Portable Charger carries a built-in USB-C cable, moving between 25-watt wireless and 45-watt wired charging, with a rounded back and support for three devices at once. The Rapid Pro Power Bank, described as the outlet's favorite laptop option, delivers up to 300 watts to three devices, offers a retractable cable and smart display, and packs a 27,650-mAh capacity; it recharges in an hour over USB-C or from empty to 80 percent in 20 minutes on its charging dock. Both the docking Rapid Pro X and the non-docking Rapid Pro are discounted. Photographs accompanying the picks are credited to Simon Hill.
