Baseus Blade Laptop Power Bank Review: Power up your mobile workstation

The need for a battery charger has risen from a simple convenience to a necessity, with it becoming easier than ever for someone to carry an entire workstation in a backpack. A 100-watt battery can go a long way for the average student or remote worker, and Baseus lives up to that idea with the Blade.

Baseus has ten years of experience when it comes to chargers, and that is reflected in the Blade. With the standard convenience of a battery charger, power-hungry devices can be charged on the go, along with charging information in case you want to know how long it will be before you can use your phone, laptop or tablet reliably again.

In scenarios where finding a power outlet is inconvenient or time-consuming, the Blade offers a fast and hassle-free charging solution. Whether you’re in a meeting, attending classes, or working remotely at a cafe, the Blade’s high output power and multiple charging ports let you charge your laptop, tablet, smartphone, and other devices simultaneously, without being tethered to a stationary power source.

Simply put, the Blade is built like a stone slab of a battery, with little rubber feet and a screen to estimate charging time. The large size and flat shape of the Blade make it impossible to put in your pocket, but it becomes a more convenient item to stash in backpacks and laptop bags.

This fits the high-intensity target of the 20,000mAh, 100W battery as it can make more of a home in a backpack, charging your laptop and other devices as you move. However, at 10.75 grams, it doesn’t feel like much next to a tablet or laptop.

For the more expensive price, the Blade thankfully comes with a C-to-C cable and a storage case, keeping the battery’s attractive matte black finish.

The readout displays the percentage the Blade is at, the voltage, and the estimate of how long it will take to charge the device or battery. With two USB-C in/out ports and two USB-A out ports, it’s easy to charge all the devices you have or the battery at the same time, taking about an hour and a half to go from 0-100% with a maximum input of 65W.

In our experience, the Blade effectively lived up to our expectation of fast charging our iPad, iPhone, and MacBook Air, as it spent a significant amount of time in the charging process. Screen display predictions are accurate within about 15 minutes, as the predicted hour and thirty minutes to charge a MacBook Air from 1% turned out to be about an hour and forty-five minutes.

These estimates are still useful, especially when charging multiple devices at once, and give a general idea of ​​when your devices have reached a good percentage, which most batteries don’t.

The Blade is the perfect battery if you want to quickly charge your devices while on the move or if you want to get full power in the middle of a meeting or class without moving your chair to the nearest power outlet.

Based on its robust construction, informative features and reliable charging capabilities, the Baseus Blade 100W Power Bank is a great high-end choice for a battery bank.
