KEY POINTS

  • After Black Friday, Anker reduced its Laptop Power Bank price to $87.99 at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy.
  • The 600-gram power bank can deliver up to 165W power and is carry-on compliant for air travel.
  • Other deals include a $179 Bose SoundLink, $24.99 Roku Streaming Stick 4K, and $599.99 Xbox Series X priced for post-tariff reality.

After the wild Black Friday maelstrom died down, Anker quietly repeated a miracle: slashing its laptop power bank to a shockingly affordable $87.99, a $47 discount from the usual $119.99. This shock device, sold on Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy, weighs 600 grams yet delivers a TSA-endorsed 165W to charge up to 4 devices simultaneously — including your MacBook Pro, phone, and possibly a toaster if it had USB-C. The InstaCord model, praised by the Verge staff for bait-and-switching retractable cables that double as handles, even boasts an LCD screen tracking its own heroic battery temp and clinging to carry-on compliance like a jet-setting tech lifeline desperate to avoid airport confiscation. Meanwhile, nearby discounts feature a non-waterproof Bose at $179 and a Roku stick daring you to stream at $24.99, plus Microsoft's Xbox Series X at a wallet-jabbing $599.99 due to tariffs. Truly, the brain trust of basic tech convenience marches onwards.
