Anker 25,000mAh 165W Laptop Power Bank vs INIU 10,000mAh 22.5W

This is the bank for when the laptop is the point. Three USB-C ports, each capable of up to 100W, with 165W available across the whole device, means it charges a working laptop at close to the speed its own charger would while still feeding a phone and a tablet alongside it. Nothing in the 10,000mAh class comes close to that.

25,000mAh works out at roughly 92.5Wh, which stays inside the 100Wh carry-on ceiling most airlines apply without prior approval, so it travels. There is a built-in cable so the primary connection cannot be forgotten, and a display that reports what it is doing rather than leaving you to guess.

What you pay is weight and bulk. This is a bag item and a heavy one, and it is not something you carry in a coat pocket the way you would a 10,000mAh bank. Recharging it fully takes a long time and wants a high-wattage charger you may not already own, so it is realistically an overnight charge. It runs warm at full output, as anything moving 165W will. And it is deep enough that it takes real space in a small backpack.

This is the no-drama daily carry. 10,000mAh recharges most phones once with something left, 22.5W gets a phone from empty to usable while you have a coffee, and the whole thing fits a jacket pocket without pulling it out of shape.

The three outputs matter more than the wattage in practice: two USB-A ports plus a USB-C port that handles both input and output means it charges a phone, a set of earbuds and a watch cable at the same time without an adapter. The pop-out kickstand is a small thing that turns out to be genuinely useful, since a phone charging on a train table is a phone you can also watch something on.

The ceiling is real. 22.5W is a phone speed, not a laptop speed, and connecting a laptop will slow the battery falling rather than charging it. The two USB-A ports are increasingly the wrong shape for a bag where everything else is USB-C, so you carry a legacy cable purely for this. No cable is built in, so you have to remember one. And recharging the bank itself over its own USB-C input is slower than the output speed suggests, which means an overnight charge rather than a quick one.
