We’re all familiar with keeping our phones charged while on the go — just plug them into a handy portable charger that can fit in the palm of your hand. But what if you need to charge a laptop or tablet while you’re out? Many portable chargers don’t have the capacity to handle it, and those that can tend to be bulkier and heavier than you’d want.

To cure the laptop charging blues, we went on a mission to find the best portable chargers for laptops, taking reliability, capacity and portability into consideration. Whether you’re using a laptop that can be charged with a USB-C cable or one that needs a good old-fashioned power outlet, we’ve found the right portable charger for you!
