The 15 Air has three outputs: two USB-C ports with a maximum output of 65W and 27W, and one USB-A port with a maximum output of 18W. This means that this one power bank can charge your laptop – even if not at full speed – a smartphone, and an older or low-powered kit.
At less than an inch thick and weighing only 10.8 ounces, it’s a highly portable unit.

All three ports can be used together for a maximum output of 65W (45W from one of the USB-C ports and 10W from each of the other ports), and the power bank also supports pass-through charging, so it can charge itself while powering other devices.

While the outputs of this power bank are impressive, the input charging power is even more impressive at 100W. The 15 Air can be taken from flat to 60% in 30 minutes using a suitable charger.
The color TFT display is a delight and packed with information.

The 15 Air also has a great color TFT display that shows you everything from battery charge level, current and voltage port output, and it can also let you set the main USB-C port from normal in/out to only in or only out. This is a useful feature in power banks as it allows you to have better control over charging.
The power bank comes with a microfiber cloth and a foot-long 240W USB-C cable.
ZDNET’s shopping advice
I really like this qqtek 15 air. This is the modern take on a power bank, and it’s a small package packed with some advanced features. The display is easy on the eyes and nice to the touch, and the power output is enough to satisfy all but the most demanding loads. This, coupled with 100W high-speed charging, makes it a winner.
This is a premium quality power bank, but it comes with a premium price tag. At $80 (at the time of writing, there is a 15% discount on Amazon, bringing it down to $68), you’ll definitely be able to find a cheaper 15,000mAh power bank, but you’ll be hard-pressed to find a higher quality power bank for the price.
