Mophie’s Powerstation AC will refuel your overworked MacBook on the go

Portable power packs have for a long time been the ideal companion to your smartphone, but what if you need to juice up something a bit larger? Well – and you’ve no doubt already guessed where we’re going with this – you could do a lot worse than picking up Mophie’s new Powerstation AC. With a gargantuan 22,000mAh battery and 100W AC output, it can deliver your MacBook an extra 15 hours of life – a potential lifesaver on those socketless cross-country train journeys. There are regular USB-C and USB-A ports, the former supporting 30W US-PD charging tech, which you’ll need for fast charging your iPhone X. The inevitable downside is price; the Powerstation AC will set you back $200 (£148). That might sound like a lot, but if you go through batteries like Mario does mushrooms, it might just be worth the hit.

About

I'm fascinated by all things tech, but if you were going to leave me on a desert island, I'd probably ask for my Nintendo Switch, a drone, and a pair of noise-cancelling cans to block out the relentless seagull racket. When I'm not on Stuff duty you'll probably find me subscribing to too many podcasts, playing too many video games, or telling anyone who will listen that Spurs are going to win a trophy this season.
