Anker PowerCore Essential 20000 Falls Short
The Anker PowerCore Essential 20000 is a basic power bank with a reasonable capacity for multiple charges, but the 15W power output means that larger devices such as laptops are out of the question. It’s pleasingly thin, but perhaps a little heavy given its size. The port selection is somewhat disappointing too, with only two USB-A ports for output.
- The PowerCore Essential 20000's limitations in terms of power and port selection raise questions about Anker's strategy to differentiate its products from competitors in the crowded portable charger market.
- Will Anker's brand reputation and customer loyalty be enough to carry over to this product, or will consumers vote with their wallets for more capable alternatives?
