🛒06, I bought a battery bank 70% cheaper for 80% the specs

I like a good deal. Letme preface that I'm sharing this because I think it's a great price and I have bought one. However, I haven't actually tried it myself. I've been eyeing an external battery that has at least 100W for use with a laptop for travel. I originally wanted the Anker 737 with it's awesome screen and the 140W output with 24,000maH of capacity. However, it came at a hefty premium ranging from \$100-\$150, which I couldn't justify since I don't travel enough. (Small tangent, but this is why I got a GoPro over a rando brand because I film enough to justify buying the premium product.) A non-Anker battery with at least 100W sells for about 25-50% cheaper. Either way $150 was too much for me, so I threw it in my Buy-It-Later and went on the deal prowl. Today, I stumbled across this listing with 100W output and a 20,000maH bank. It's specs are certainty less than the 737. However, at under \$50 after a 20% coupon it's a no brainer to purchase since in terms of raw specs I'm getting ~30% less output and ~15% less bank for a ~75% discount. I still hit my 100W requirement.

To tie this into something that sounds educational and interesting, this analogous to why Globalization exists in the first place. There's one battery that in terms of raw specs is absolutely better, but it's premium is so glaringly painful to look at that it's simply out of the question to not shop around first. The other option is definitely rough around the edges, but cheap enough to make an impulse purchase justifiable. It's akin to the domestic jeans that are $200 a pop versus the outsourced one that is on offer for $20.

Both of these batteries have a 24 month warranty (assuming the cheaper one's company still exists) and hey, it's sold on Amazon with their stellar customer service ;). If you are interested in the product, please consider my affiliate link here as it helps me at no additional cost.
