Which is better for charging a laptop?

The Nano Power Bank (10K, 45W). Its 45W USB-C output can run a thin laptop or tablet; the Magnetic tops out at 20W wired and 15W wireless, too low for most laptops.

Which lasts longer per charge?

The 10K model, by roughly double. It holds 10,000mAh (36Wh) versus 5,000mAh, so expect about two phone charges instead of one.

Is the Magnetic worth $54.99 when the 10K is $59.99?

Only if cable-free iPhone charging matters more than capacity. For $5 more the 10K gives twice the battery, 45W output, and a built-in cable.

Does the 10K model charge iPhones wirelessly?

No. It charges over USB-C only, using the built-in retractable cable or the USB-C port. The Magnetic is the wireless option in this pair.

Can I take either on a plane?

Yes. Both are far under the 100Wh carry-on limit; the 10K model is 36Wh and the Magnetic is about 18.5Wh. Keep them in carry-on baggage.

Which is better for travel?

The Magnetic for short day trips where weight matters; the 10K for longer trips where you need multiple charges and fast refills.
