The ultimate travel charger just hit its lowest price of the year. Anker’s Laptop Power Bank is down to $95.99 at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart, a $24 cut that marks the best price this year and the lowest since Black Friday. The deal centers on a 25,000mAh, 90Wh brick that promises to keep your laptop, phone, tablet, and other essentials humming while you roam, with stock rolling in around Memorial Day and the summer travel season. If you were hoping a single charger could replace the luggage of cords, this is a prime example. The Verge

Packed into a travel-ready shell, the power bank can juice up to four devices at once across three USB-C ports and a lone USB-A port. Real power is on the table too: a single USB-C port can deliver up to 100W, making it capable of charging beefy laptops such as Apple’s M5-powered MacBook Pro, while two USB-C devices together can pull as much as 165W. If you’re using all four ports, total output sits around 130W, giving you quick top-ups on the go. A retractable 2.3-foot USB-C cable stays attached, and a second USB-C cable doubles as a carrying strap for fewer loose accessories. A real-time battery display makes it easy to see remaining power and whether devices are actually charging at full speed. It’s also airline carry-on friendly, easing travel planning for frequent flyers. The Verge

Yes, it weighs as much as a water bottle, and that is part of the tradeoff for this much capacity in a single brick. The heft is a reminder that high wattage, multi-device charging in one unit comes with bulk, but the payoff is fewer power bricks to juggle on trips and fewer wall outlets needed in hotel rooms. The unit’s built-in cables reduce packing friction, a small but meaningful benefit when you are sprinting through airports with luggage in hand. For travelers who wrestle with outlet shortages, this design is a clear win. The Verge

Who should buy this now? If you travel with laptops, tablets, and phones, and you want a single pack that can replace several chargers, this is a strong fit. The 25,000mAh capacity and multiple ports are particularly appealing for long trips or work-from-hotel scenarios where outlets are scarce. If you mainly recharge a single phone and don’t need to top up a laptop, you might not need this many ports or that much capacity. The price drop makes the decision easier for heavy multi-device users, while casual travelers may consider whether a smaller, lighter pack would suit their routine better. The Verge

Bottom line: the Anker Laptop Power Bank is a compelling buy at $95.99 for travelers who want one brick to handle laptop, tablet, and phone charging with clear speed and visibility. It’s the best price this year and the most convenient option for households juggling several devices on the road, with a setup that minimizes cables and maximizes outlets. If your trips linger and your devices demand steady power, this deal is worth pulling the trigger. The Verge
