Then you’ve got the retractable cable, which is just brilliant. It snaps in and out with this smooth, confident movement, and the cable itself doesn’t feel cheap in the slightest. The whole system feels intentional, not tacked on. And the convenience? Honestly, game changing. I can grab the power bank knowing I don’t need to bring a separate cable. No rummaging through a bag. No hunting for cords at the bottom of a suitcase. It’s all there, built in, ready instantly.

While it’s a little pricey, Anker’s laptop power bank will be your best travel companion for years to come. It’s got two built-in cables, so you won’t ever need to remember to bring any extra USB-C wires; there’s a huge 165W capacity, meaning it can fast-charge any laptop; and there’s enough juice inside to last you a good few days before needing to plug it back in. There’s a reason why I’ve not ditched it yet.

The build quality feels solid, with a durable exterior and well-integrated ports. The standout design element is the combination of built-in USB-C cables, one that is retractable and another one fixed, making it extremely convenient for quick deployment without rummaging for extra cables. For travelers or commuters, this alone is a practical advantage.

As well as capacity, it's got versatility and ease of use. And we're going to jump in and explore that in my Anker 165W power bank review. But as always, let's start with the price. And here in Australia, this thing is going to set you back $200. So, it's up there.

A5: It is worth considering if you charge a laptop often, travel with multiple devices, and care about reducing loose cables. It is less ideal if you only need a small phone power bank.

The Anker A1695 is a laptop power bank that carries its own cables and charges a MacBook Pro at wall-socket speed. The trade-off is real: around 594g makes it a bag item, not a pocket one.

One of them is amazing and the other one, well, it comes with a pretty big asterisk. Stick with me and I promise by the end we're going to answer the most important question. Is this thing actually worth your money? Because let's be honest, it's it's pretty pricey. The build and the design.
