An honest answer for every budget, re-judged as the market moves, and the one I’d put my own money on, crowned. No “it depends.”

The middle ground
Why it might win
Genuinely charges a laptop, built-in display, well under the Prime
Why it might not
Less than half the capacity of the crowned pick, and 140W is on the slower side for a big laptop

The answer.
My pick
Why it might win
250W is enough for a laptop and a phone at once, with a display that tells you exactly what is happening
Why it might not
It is heavy, and that much wattage is wasted if you only ever charge a phone
“The one power bank that stops asking whether it is charging my phone or my laptop. It just does both.”
