Anker's compact 200Wh power bank falls to its best price ever of $170 ($90 off)

Power through an outage without taking up your entire closet space

One of the great things about giant battery packs (you could almost call them generators) like the Anker Powerhouse 200 is that the plugs we insert into our appliances and electronics don't change that quickly while in the meantime these reliable machines fall in price over time. Today, you can get this lunch pail of power for $90 off recent pricing.The Powerhouse 200 features more than 200Wh of capacity that you can split between a car charger, two full USB ports, one Type-C, and an AC outlet (rated for up to 100W alone). We can make a case here that if you intend on running lean to get you by a power outage for the night, this might be an optimal choice for your phones and laptops, especially at under half its original MSRP. But you can take a look at the good and bad with our full review of the power bank here.

There are few thoughts so fundamentally terrifying to the modern-day tech user — things able to shake a man to his core — than the idea of being without power when you need it. As someone who tops off his phone whenever in sight of a USB cord, who carries at least a 20,000mAh battery pack everywhere he travels, I'm always interested in hearing about solutions that provide not just enough on-demand power to keep you going a little longer, but such massively deep reserves that the words “out of charge” need no longer exist in your vocabulary. Enter: the Jackery Explorer 1000 Portable Power Station.

Anker has been a leader in manufacturing mobile charging accessories for quite some time. Wall chargers, car chargers, portable batteries – you name 'em Anker makes them, and I'm willing to bet a lot of you own one or more of their devices. Today Anker is releasing a new gadget, and it's bigger and more powerful than anything they have ever made before. It's called the Anker Powerhouse and I've been testing one for the past week.

Since the Device Frame Generator moved to Google's Android Developer site and received its new name (Device Art Generator), we've heard nary a peep about additional frames or other updates. That appears to have changed today, however – the Device Art Generator now features gorgeous new frames for both the Nexus 4 and Nexus 10, of course with the ability to toggle shadow, glare, and rotation. If you're a developer who needs a nice easy way to build promotional collateral, or just an average user who wants to create beautifully-framed screenshots, hit the link below.
