Deal | Baseus Blade ultra-slim 100-watt power bank discounted to record low price on Amazon
High-capacity power banks that can juice up laptops are far from difficult to find these days. However, the majority of such power banks are undoubtedly rather bulky, making them quite troublesome to haul around in a laptop sleeve. This is where the ultra-slim Baseus Blade 100-watt power bank comes in, and thanks to an ongoing sale on Amazon, the product can now be purchased for its lowest-ever price of just $52.99.
Of course, the keen-eyed among you may recall our previous article regarding the Baseus Blade, indicating an even lower price. However, that deal was reserved for Amazon prime members only. This discount, thankfully, is available for everyone as long as the sale lasts. Prime members will get a few extras, of course, such as free delivery. But apart from that, the discount price for the power bank is the same for Prime and non-Prime members.
Slim design, without compromise
Portability is the name of the game with the Baseus Blade 100-watt power bank. At just 0.7-inches thick, the 1.08 pound power bank is almost effortless to carry around in a backpack, or even a laptop sleeve. The gadget packs a total of four ports, two each of the USB-A and USB-C flavours. The Baseus Blade's USB-C ports are capable of upto 100 watts of output each, and the USB-A ports are limited to a modest 30 watts each. The output configurations vary in 2-port and 3-port modes, whereas the peak output is limited to 30 watts only in 4-port mode. A digital display is also present, delivering some nice to have information such as charging speed and capacity.

Reviews for the Baseus Blade power bank are mostly positive, although it should be noted that the peak output of 100-watts is hard to get from a single port. ZDNet and XDA tested out a bunch of laptops with power bank, with peak charging speed reaching only around 88 watts, with multiple other laptops pulling even fewer watts. Of course, this will depend greatly on the laptop in question. The 20,000 mAh capacity is enough for a few extra hours of usage, although it is nothing to brag about these days. Given its slim form factor, which reviewers genuinely appreciated, the slightly mediocre capacity for the Blade can be forgiven.
All told, the Baseus Blade power bank is a decent choice for laptop users on the go who prioritize portability over raw capacity or output. At its current all-time low sale price on Amazon, the Blade power bank sure does offer commendable value for what it offers. Needless to say, those interested in the power bank are advised to be mindful of the time-sensitive nature of this deal.
