The USB-A port can only output 22.5W max, which still seems like a lot for such a port at 5V.
It's powering my laptop now. I got it because my laptop would complain when I used the Anker GaN 65W power supply and tried to charge my phone or headphones or whatever.
edit: I was looking at the specs and it lists multiple voltages for the USB-A port. How is this possible?
USB-A: 4.5V⎓5A / 5V⎓4.5A / 5V⎓3A / 9V⎓2A / 12V⎓1.5A / 10V⎓2.25A (22.5W Max)
Depending on what one needs, one of these might be either cheaper, better or more carryable. The 120w seems the same, just more watts, less $$
The 150w one adds again, more watts, one more C port, and a slimmer albeit taller form factor. It’s only $10 more than the 100w version, for me that would be better value
