#3: Portable Power Bank for Laptop
Tell me if you know this scenario: You are at a coffee shop or in a meeting, and your laptop is almost dead. What do you do? You have to pack up all your stuff and walk around the room looking for a free plug outlet. Then you are still tied to the length of your power cord. Or your cord is dangling dangerously and someone is bound to trip over it.
About a year ago I came across an amazing solution. A portable powerbank that can recharge your laptop. Now—TAKE NOTE—not all powerbanks are capable of 
Pro:
-The ones I have used, when full, can get your laptop from empty to full power.
-Most of these powerbanks have multiple port types, so you can charge multiple devices, even at once
-They are heavy, but not backbreakers. I throw it in my backpack for an emergency
-It is also handy on roadtrips when you need to charge devices in the car
Cons:
-They’re not cheap, but I would still say worth the $$$
-I assume they lose some power over time and have a recharge life, but I have been using mine for a year with no problems
I can’t tell you how much I love using my Power Bank.
Price: $40-150, I wouldn’t pay more than $100. The device I use is middle of the range. The one extra feature I wanted was that it displayed the power level left in the bank. Here is the one I bought.
