#ASUS power bank review

With all the smartphones and gadgets that exist in peoples' pockets and bags nowadays, an argument can be made that one particular accessory is ubiquitous nowadays -- of course, I'm referring to power banks. But when ASUS sent us the new ZenPower Pro PD, it had a different vibe to it. ASUS takes pride in it being the world's lightest and smallest power bank with Power Delivery 3.0, and it doesn't disappoint. Sure, I've had small power banks in the past, but what I like most about its shape is how thin it is. Power banks I've owned before such as the Anker PowerCore 10000 are also tiny, but not as thin and powerful as the ZenPower Pro PD.

While I do enjoy the design more than any other power bank I've owned, the edges of the aluminum chassis have more of a razor edge than my Razer Blade. A must-have, especially for (some) laptop users I can't really say I recommend the ZenPower Pro PD over any other sub-20,000mAh Power Delivery capable unit on the market if you're someone who's just looking for a power bank for your smartphone.
