Who is it ideal for
The NB10000 is the perfect choice for ultralight travelers, hikers, and digital nomads who need a reliable power source without unnecessary bulk. If you travel with multiple devices or need to charge a laptop, consider a higher capacity model - but for a phone, headphones, and watch, the NB10000 is absolutely sufficient.
My verdict
This is my personal top pick. I've carried the NB10000 on every trip for over two years, and it's never let me down. At 150 grams, you just throw it in your pocket and forget about it - until you need it. Fast charging via USB-C is a bonus you'll appreciate, especially at airports. The only downside? If you're a power user with a tablet and laptop, you'll need something bigger. But for 90% of travelers, it's the best power bank you can buy.
