I ditched my laptop charger for this power bank with 140W charging speed — and it's down to its all-time lowest price

If there’s any way I can lighten the load of my backpack when I commute to work, I’m always open to the idea. That’s why I’ve been using the EcoFlow RAPID Pro Power Bank for over a month now, which packs a whopping 27,650 mAh battery cell. But what really makes it unique is that it has a maximum charging speed of 140W. Plus, it’s down to its lowest price with this early Black Friday deal.

Normally priced at $129, Amazon is giving my new favorite power bank a 27% discount. This comes to a savings of $60. It’s certainly pricier than most of the other portable power banks I’ve tested in the last year, but none of them pack this large a capacity — nor can they charge larger electronics like my laptop.

The first thing that stands out about the EcoFlow RAPID Pro Power Bank is its size, which is understandable given the battery’s capacity. Even though my laptop’s power adapter is slightly smaller and lighter, the EcoFlow RAPID Pro Power Bank offsets my need to carry other chargers for my phones, earbuds, and other gadgets I have on me.

However, the fact that it can supply enough power to charge my laptop is pretty impressive. Most of the best power banks I’ve tested can charge tablets, but smaller to mid-size laptops prove to be too much for them — but not for the EcoFlow. That’s because of its 140W maximum charging USB-C speed, which is achieved through the integrated cable that neatly retracts itself when it’s not in use.

The integrated cable is clutch because I don’t have to remember to keep one on me wherever I go. Instead, I can simply pull the cable out and start charging whatever I need — including my Snapdragon-powered HP OmniBook 5. One day, when it had less than 5% battery, the EcoFlow RAPID Pro Power Bank brought it back to full charge.

There are also three additional ports on the top of the power bank, which, combined with the integrated cable, deliver 300W of total output.

Meaning, I can charge my laptop, iPhone 17 Pro, and even my mirrorless camera simultaneously. I also love that it doesn’t take long to recharge, taking less than an hour to charge back to full capacity.

Other features I appreciate include the LCD screen on the front that shows me the battery’s capacity, along with the charging speed it’s putting out with each port. I’ve also connected it to my phone so I can access the power bank’s functions, like being able to customize the display.

I haven’t had the need to bring my laptop’s power adapter again ever since I started using the EcoFlow RAPID Pro Power Bank, which makes it better for my commute because I’m carrying fewer things on me.
