Which is better for charging a laptop?

The Baseus PicoGo. Its 45W USB-C output meets the power needs of many thin laptops, while the Anker Zolo tops out at 30W.

Which lasts longer between charges?

The Anker Zolo. At 20,000mAh it holds about twice the energy of the 10,000mAh Baseus, so it recharges a phone more times.

Is the Anker Zolo worth the extra money?

Only if you need the larger battery and the built-in cable. At $159 at Distritech as of November 3 versus $20.99 to $32.99 for the Baseus, the Baseus is far cheaper for everyday top-ups.

Which is easier to carry?

The Baseus. At roughly 7 oz it is about half the weight of the 12.45 oz Anker Zolo.

Do either come with a cable?

The Anker Zolo has a built-in USB-C cable. The Baseus PicoGo does not, so pack a USB-C cable.

Which charges an iPhone faster?

The Baseus, on paper. Its 45W output exceeds the Anker's 30W, though both fast-charge modern iPhones.
