Good grief. That seems tiny for such a large amount of power.

Looks like it could contain four 18600 lithium cells. One of those can be up to 3400mAh capacity.

Will this charge a laptop - i.e. a dell?
I had a look on the Amazon product page and there are two people asking the same question - alas, one answer is that it does charge a laptop battery and another that says it will not.
It's unlikely to be able to charge a laptop as most need higher voltages and currents than the 5V @ 2.0A that this USB charger allows (19V is common in laptop chargers). If you have a smaller notebook that can charge off USB, then I would think this should be able to charge it.

Thank you. I will look for something else that is laptop specific.

Ah, right - such a thing does not exist. Thanks. I have never bought one of these devices so just assumed that there were ones out there for laptops. Makes me even more annoyed that many laptops now come with non-removable batteries

There are such things for laptops, but rather larger and rather dearer.
Looks like they've come up with some good cheap ones of late? (hopefully more of the same later too ... ) :-)

Saw 3 or 4 of these in Sainsbury's, Prestwick, a couple of days ago. Only one today, so I bought it. A kind of half-way house between the wee juicecube, and my 28000mAh Aukey, which I use for my Surface Pro.
Something like this is a bit more reasonable, many of the car jump start chargers will charge laptops as well - have a look on Amazon. You can get them in the UK too.

OOS for me. Struggling to get a decent powerbank as Amazon don't deliver them to NI :disappointed:

Yes, coming up as not available online. There might still be some in-store, but I'll expire the deal.

Similar ones often on Amazon lightning deals, but not seen any under about £35 yet
Had one of these since they launched - charges my iphone for a whole week's worth of travel. Really handy to take on longer haul routes too.
About 1+ months back after you got your cheapy one from Tesco's, then this came up too:
