[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I confirmed it was compatible with my Yoga laptop yet the laptop charger which is 65 Watt, does not charge the power bank more than 75%. After 57 minutes with tech-support no one could answer my question on why.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this power bank to supplement the L13 I use for remote work. It does everything advertised, and my laptop detects that it is "plugged in" when the power bank is connected. This is really all I was hoping for from the device; a convenient and portable solution to ensure I can remain powered while on the road.
With that said, now that I have it in hand, there is some room for improvement on Lenovo's part. The instructions are barebones at best and the LED charging indicators just feel dated.
If you use a low power wall-charger to charge this batter, be warned - you'll think something is wrong because this thing can take forever to charge to 100%. For example, using a 35w warp charger, this PB reported 75% charge for several hours, leading me to think that something was wrong. By comparison, using the 65w charger that came with my laptop charged it up to 100% in a few hours.
It would have been nice to see an LCD or OLED screen with a battery percentage, especially for around $100 (which is what it cost when I purchased). This power bank does the trick, but I am left feeling underwhelmed and like I paid more than I should have.
Solid 60% with a positive leaning from me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Doesn't appear to take a full charge. I don't have a Lenovo charger so I can't say for sure if it will work with that, but the universal usb-c chargers I have don't work.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The charger came with no instructions, just a basic warning on battery disposal in 15 languages. The amount of charge it holds is not very impressive, roughly enough to charge half a laptop battery. I was hoping for at minimum a full laptop charge. I’m not sure if I’ll keep it, but I would not suggest buying this product if you need a power bank for a laptop. It may be fine for charging smaller items, like your cell but many cheaper products do that.
Overall I was pretty underwhelmed, which was too bad since I like Lenovo products and have thought highly of them in the past.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is great for the traveler with a USB-C powered ecosystem. The integrated USB-C cable is genius, and long overdue for a large size battery pack. This has managed to replace 2 other battery packs, including a RavPower "20,000 mAh" that doesn't seem to actually be up to its rating...
Now let's talk about the good and the bad:
The Good:
Battery capacity seems accurate based on nonscientific testing of a Galaxy S21 Ultra.
Size is reasonable and helped HUGELY by integrated USB-C cable
The output charging cable can also be used to charge it via USB-C - hallelujah!
Extra USB-C output and USB-A output
The Bad:
This thing is NOT cheap
Battery status indicator should really give more than a 4 dot status at this price level
So, should you buy it? If you don't mind spending the change and really value compactness, I'd so go for it. Or - if like me - you happen to have a bunch of Lenovo rewards dollars sitting around...
It doesn’t charge with a full charge. Also, you must buy a 65w charger adapter to charge the battery itself. Very disappointing.
