The 3 Best Portable Laptop Chargers of 2025

This compact, lightweight charger supports wireless charging and has an easy-to-read screen. It’s not as powerful as some others we tested, and it doesn’t come with a wall charger, but it charges a wide variety of devices.
The Omnicharge Omni 20+ is one of very few available options with wireless charging, as well as a screen showing helpful information like input/output power and operating temperature. It is pricey and has less capacity and output power than our other picks, but it’s your best bet if you want these features.
It can charge your phone wirelessly. This unit also has a Qi wireless-charging feature (though it’s not certified by the Wireless Power Consortium, which we’d prefer for confirmation of safety and optimal performance) that you can use to charge some phones and other devices.
It’s exceptionally compact and lightweight. The Omnicharge is about the size of a bagel or kaiser roll. It has a square shape with gently rounded corners that make it easier to hold or to stuff into a bag. And at 1.4 pounds, it’s the lightest of our picks.
It has well-spaced ports. The ports on this unit are widely spaced, leaving ample room for multiple plugs.
It has an AC outlet on one side, and USB-C PD and DC input/output ports on another. On a third side, you’ll find two USB-A output ports, an OLED display screen, and control buttons to toggle various ports on and off.
It has an upscale, professional look. Its outer shell is made of a soft-textured plastic that’s grippy and comfortable to hold, and it seems relatively scratch and scuff resistant. After you handle it for a while, its surface is likely to gain some fingerprints, however.
Its screen is bright and informative, if sometimes cluttered. When you’re recharging the unit, it displays a large battery icon to show how much charge it has, which is clear and helpful.
But when you’re using it to charge another device, the screen offers so much data—wattage, voltage, temperature, percentage charged, and what ports are currently powered on—that the display can feel cluttered, making it harder to glean key info at a glance.
Capacity and output are on the low side, but sufficient for most needs. In our testing, the Omnicharge topped out at 98 W of power output—less than our other picks, but still plenty of power to charge most laptops while they’re in use.
It brought our MacBook Air from no charge to 80% charged, which again was less than our other picks managed, but not by much.
It comes with cables, but not a wall charger. The Omnicharge comes with both USB-A and USB-C cables, but you’ll have to supply your own wall charger. Since most laptops are powered by a USB-C or DC wall charger, you might already have one on hand that’s compatible with this unit.
If you don’t already have a suitable charger, Omnicharge sells one separately that we’ve used and like enough to recommend. It comes with a 3-foot charging cable, has two USB-C PD ports and a USB-A port, and can supply up to 65 W to a single device or 60 W split between multiple devices. It’s also compact, lightweight, and has a convenient fold-up plug (though you can typically get one of our favorite wall chargers for less).
Its ports aren’t protected. We wish this unit came with a rubber flap over its ports to protect its internal components against dust and minor spills, as several other models we’ve tested do.
For added peace of mind, Omnicharge sells a clamshell-style case that we’ve packed on numerous weekend trips and workations to protect the unit from scuffs and scratches.
Product support is solid. Its one-year warranty isn’t as long as that of our top pick, but we still think the coverage is long enough for you to fully test the charger and confirm that it doesn’t have a problem. Customer service is responsive, too.
It’s not cheap. At this writing, the Omnicharge is our most expensive pick, costing $250. But as the brand’s name suggests, this model also offers the most charging options.
