Quick questions before you buy

Advertised mAh โ‰  real-world mAh

A 20,000mAh power bank charges, in practice, the equivalent of 12,000โ€“14,000mAh into a smartphone. Compare by number of full charges, not just the capacity on the label.

Power Delivery matters more than capacity

Without Power Delivery (PD), it may not charge a laptop even with enough capacity. Check the output power (W) before buying.
