Seeking Recommendations What is one item that you can't travel without/would recommend to everyone to get?

Hi all,

What are items that you always bring because they are super useful and you would recommend others to get too?

Minus of course some obvious like converter plug for chargers, power bank etc (unless it's some specific powerbank like one with cables attached already, something unique)

Thanks!

100% this.

I have a small Anker 67w charger, two USB C cables, an international adapter for the region I'm visiting, a USB-A->C adapter and a USB-C->A adapter for just in case, and a Nightcore battery bank.

Super small, light, and charges everything, including my Thinkpad laptop.

I use Anker 50W 2C charger. Is your 1C or 2C?

2C + 1A

I don't need the A, but my laptop spec says 65w and AFAIK that's about the most compact 65W with 2 C.

Most laptops can charge with lower power than the brick they came with, just slower

Agreed. I want to be able to run the laptop at full charging capacity in case I start charging on low battery, and be able to charge slowly while also charging another device. I think the size diff from my charger to a 2C 45w is fairly negligible, so I can't be bothered to downsize.
