Anker makes a lot of our favorite charging gear, not only because their products perform quite well, but also because there are options for every kind of budget. Black Friday tech deals can provide great opportunities to get some of Anker’s expensive gear for less, and we’re already starting to see Black Friday Anker deals. For example, the 200W Prime Power Bank is currently 41 percent off and priced at $110 — and that includes the power brick and its dedicated charging base.

Anker’s 200W Portable Charger is our pick for the best premium power bank, as it has features like charging an iPhone in an average of one hour and 48 minutes. The best part of the power bank is its sleek screen, which shows if power is coming or going and how much battery is left in the accessory. This feature is much more accurate than the four dots on my cheaper (but still favorite) Anker Nano Power Bank.

Both the power bank and charging base feature one USB port and two USB-C ports, so there are multiple ways to charge your devices. The base uses magnets to secure its pins to the power bank and charge it straight away. Our biggest complaint with the power bank was its high price, but with this sale it’s definitely worth a look.

But there was a small group of new products that rose above the rest. Our list of CES 2025 winners covers a variety of categories, from common areas like home entertainment, transportation, and smart home to themed topics like sustainability and accessibility. After our team shortlisted the nominees and voted on the best for various categories, we conducted another round of voting to decide on the best product of the show.

The ASUS Zenbook A14 feels impossibly light, weighing between 2.2 and 2.4 pounds, and has a gorgeous 14-inch OLED screen and a nice array of ports (USB-C, USB-A, and HDMI)! What else could you need in a MacBook Air competitor? After years of copying Apple’s MacBooks, ASUS has proven it can outperform Apple without resorting to gimmicks like dual screens or bright lights.

The Zenbook A14 is a compact little laptop that feels great in your hands, thanks to ASUS’ unique CeraAluminum case material. ASUS claims it can last up to 32 hours when playing video, which is way more than the 18 hours Apple estimates for the MacBook Air. It might seem strange that the least bright laptop at CES 2025 is one of our favorites, but sometimes pure practicality can’t be denied.
