Anker's Laptop Power Bank Returns to Black Friday Pricing

Post-Black Friday, the market has entered a lull in terms of noteworthy offers, particularly on charging gadgets. However, the Anker Laptop Power Bank has resurfaced at a compelling price of $87.99—a markdown of $47—on Amazon and Walmart, identical to the low we observed last November.

Anker is renowned for their wide array of charging solutions, and one popular model is the A1695 InstaCord. The device includes a retractable USB-C lead and a second cable that serves as a handle, both designed for bidirectional and passthrough charging. The power bank comes with a 25,000mAh capacity and supports up to a 90Wh output, featuring a USB-A port and another USB-C port, enabling simultaneous charging for a phone, MacBook Pro, and two additional gadgets.

Power Output and Portability

Weighing in at 600 grams, this power bank from Anker can output up to 165 watts when charging two devices, or 130 watts for three to four devices. It adheres to TSA regulations for carry-on luggage, being under the 100 watt-hour limit, so travelers should face no issues at airport security. The power bank also boasts an LCD screen, offering quick access to information like battery level, power output, and temperature.

Additional Savings on Electronics

Besides the power bank, potential savings extend to the Bose SoundLink Home speaker, now at $179, $50 off its usual price, available at Amazon and other retailers. Despite its lack of water and dust resistance, and a capped battery life of 9 hours, it remains a top pick for sound quality, with an aesthetically pleasing design.

Roku's Streaming Stick 4K is also discounted to $24.99, $25 less than usual, and supports 4K resolutions and major 4K HDR formats. It draws power from the television itself, eliminating the need for an external power source.

Moreover, the Xbox Series X, having its price go up in September, now sees a price drop to $599.99, a $50 reduction, despite having plummeted to $340 at Best Buy previously. This current price might indeed suffice until markets stabilize and prices revert to previous lows.
