    I bought one off of Lazada since I needed a powerbank badly. It says on the Anker website that Lazada purchased products doesn't cover their warranty :( When I asked via twitter, Lazada only has 7 days replacement. I suggest you buy at Anker website or their store to make sure you get their warranty. Their powerbanks are priced at a premium range so it is only apt that warranty should be included.

    Was at the Anker kiosk at Megamall this afternoon.

    Wanted to check if they had the PowerCore+ 10050 or 13400. They did have the 10050 (P2,690) but only in pink.
    They also had some PowerCore+ Minis in gold and black.

    No available lightning cables. All they had were micro usb's.

    Ended up buying a Mini in gold for my daughter for P990.

    Decided to buy an Anker PowerPort+ 5 USB-C with USB Power Delivery...

    As usual, excellent look and feel of the product... Even packaging was good.

    Charging speed for my devices was normal (I guess there's a limit on voltage our devices can accept)

    But you feel the speed when charging power banks...

    Definitely a must have if you own a 10,000 mAh power bank (and above)

    bought it from Lazada... It's now posted at SGD 49.90 but I can't imagine myself buying it at that price.

    Was looking into this but I'm not willing to drop USD 100 on a charger right now! Hopefully the price drops as USB-C GaN chargers become more popular.

    I'm thinking about getting the PowerPort Atom PD 1. It can serve as the only charger that I need to bring for my laptop, iPhone, iPad, etc. I'll just have to bring the appropriate cables. The $30 price looks reasonable.

    I just got this in the mail. I have a MacBook 12 so I'm glad I only need to carry around one charger for that and my iPhone. It's really convenient. Just be warned that the prongs don't fold!

    Amazon US. I bought it when it was still on preorder (right after CES). I think it's no longer in stock though.

    I think Anker's GaN chargers are smaller than Apple's 30W charger.

    I think I understand what your looking for.

    A small 100W charger, I think even 100W chargers from Aukey and Choetech are "bigger," but they have additional ports.

    Dell has a 130W USB-C Adapter, only drawback is if you need a lightning cable...

    Personally, I prefer to carry Anker's GaN chargers when travelling, then just carry my ThinkPad's 65W charger for everything else that cannot be handled by my 30W Anker.

    USB-C Power Delivery increased from 100W to 240W for gaming laptops and other power-hungry devices
