If you need a single brick to charge your laptop, phone, and tablet over a multi-stop trip, Anker Prime 20K hits 200W output and 20K capacity. Just under the 100Wh airline limit. Heavy but capable.
Mophie Powerstation Plus
Mophie's Powerstation Plus has built-in USB-C and Lightning cables — useful for travelers with mixed devices. Bulkier than the Clutch but versatile.
INIU P50 10K
Strong budget choice. 10K capacity, built-in USB-C lanyard, well under airline limits. Bigger than Clutch but a fraction of the price.
