I'm an engineering student, and carrying around what is basically a 200 watt AC outlet and a 120 watt DC outlet for using or testing basically anything on the go is amazing. This is a modern wonder of comfort and technology, and I am so glad there is a market for it.
Now on to the design of this wonder. First, the cooling fan is pretty loud when it runs, but even worse it's inconsistent. Imagine watching a movie and it's silent, but then wrrrrrrrrr. A cheap 80mm computer fan would run off the native voltage and do a better job at cooling and being functionally silent, since you could easily tune it out.
Love the standard socket for 10 amps of 12v and the USB-C for 12 amps of 5v. Paired with the AC, this thing can be used with adapters galore to power practically anything on the go. But the 7909, Anker? Its a niche barrel adapter at best, and it's hard to find specific adapters that convert to it. The included socket to 7909 adapter means you can jury rig some charger out of the panel you have, but a banana plug, standard 5mm barrel, or even an SAE adapter would be so much more compatible with adapters and panels already on the market, especially at the simple 65w charging speed this model is limited to.
Other than those 2 design gripes, the rest is very easy to love. The thing looks amazing and sleek. It's got well more than enough power to do practically anything you like for a night or 2 of light glamping, or for a night of watching movies in a power outage. It's light enough to put in a backpack and not overall bulky for its power density. You could probably do a solid week of work on a modern laptop before needing to recharge this thing.
