Looking to keep all your devices charged and ready? When there’s no outlet in sight or you’re on-the-go, a mighty power bank is needed. Enter, the
Anker 737 Power Bank, 24,000mAh 3-Port Laptop Portable Charger
, which is on sale during Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, by the way. It’s currently $89.99 $125.98 40% off for a limited time. (Don’t walk. Run.) Known for its power and portability, the Anker 737 has quickly become a favorite among techies. After researching this powerhouse charger to no end, I’m tempted to make the switch, as it boasts features that my current power bank just can’t match.
The Anker 737 sets itself apart with a 24,000mAh battery capacity and a mighty 140W output. This means it can charge an iPhone 13 nearly five times, or provide enough juice to recharge a 2021 iPad Pro 12.9″ more than once.
It’s compatible with a wide range of devices—from MacBooks to Dell laptops, and yes, even AirPods. So whether you’re tackling a long day of travel or just trying to power through meetings without being tethered to a wall, this charger has your back.
Another standout feature is its smart digital display, which lets you see the remaining power and how much time it’ll take to recharge. My current charger merely shows a string of lights to let me know where I’m at—it’s like a guessing game. Reviewers love this feature in the Anker 737 because it makes planning and toggling between devices so much easier. It’s a huge perk if you’re relying on multiple devices and can’t afford to run out of battery.
While the Anker 737 is built to keep your devices going for days, you’ll want to charge it fully before taking it on the road. Don’t get lazy. With Power Delivery 3.1 and bi-directional charging, it will refuel quickly though. Once charged, it’s capable of powering a range of devices multiple times, but again, check out your digital display to track.
Lastly, yes, it’s pricier than other power banks on the market. Though it’s more substantial than a standard one, I believe the features outlined above make it well worth it. And since it’s on sale right now, you’ve got some savings padding to finally bite the bullet and buy.

Google Play is borrowing one of the Nintendo Switch’s most useful little tricks. A new Sidekick tool called Playbacks captures a short clip after something interesting has already happened, sparing players from running a screen recorder throughout an entire game.
Playbacks is part of Google Play Store v53.8 and keeps saved clips on the phone. Google first announced it earlier this month, but the new Play Store update marks its arrival for players. Anyone who has watched a perfect win vanish because the record button came too late already understands the appeal.
Samsung’s scandal over its Game Optimizing Service, or GOS, has returned with a bill attached. South Korea’s Fair Trade Commission has tentatively fined the company 20.1 billion won, or about $15.1 million, over gaming claims made for the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S22, and Tab S8.
The regulator says Samsung promoted the devices as gaming powerhouses without disclosing that GOS placed preset CPU and GPU limits on certain demanding games. Samsung disputes that conclusion, calling GOS a legitimate way to manage heat.
