In the perpetual quest to keep our gadgets alive, a robust power bank is a non-negotiable ally. Lenovo's ThinkPlus lineup, known for its business and productivity-focused accessories, has just leveled up with a formidable new contender: a 190W portable charger that packs both serious muscle and smart features into a surprisingly compact design.
Available in classic Black and minimalist White, this new power bank is built for the multi-device user. It allows you to charge up to three gadgets simultaneously, ensuring your laptop, phone, and tablet can all refuel on the go. The port selection is strategically laid out: one USB-C port, one USB-A port, and a cleverly integrated, built-in USB-C cable for ultimate convenience.
Smart Power Distribution: Up to 190W Total Output
The real magic lies in the power distribution. The integrated USB-C cable and the standalone USB-C port are the heavy lifters, each capable of delivering up to 140W. The USB-A port offers a solid 30W for smaller devices. When you use the integrated cable and the USB-C port together, they can combine for a massive 190W output—perfect for quickly powering a high-performance laptop. When all three ports are in use, the system intelligently manages a total output of 145W to keep everything charging safely and efficiently.

Fast In, Fast Out: 100W Self-Charging & Large Capacity
No one wants to wait ages to recharge their power bank. Lenovo addresses this with support for 100W self-charging. Using a compatible high-wattage charger—like the 160W Anker Prime charger (currently $115.99 on Amazon)—you can rapidly top up the internal 20,000mAh battery. This substantial capacity is enough to charge most smartphones multiple times over or provide a critical boost to a flagging laptop.
The Game-Changer: An Integrated Information Display
Perhaps the most notable feature is the built-in digital display. Moving beyond simple LED dots, this screen provides real-time, valuable data. At a glance, you can see the exact power output (in watts) from each active port, the remaining internal battery percentage, and even the operational temperature. This transparency takes the guesswork out of charging, letting you optimize your power usage and monitor the device's health.
Compact, Universal, and Currently China-Exclusive
Despite its high capacity and output, Lenovo emphasizes a relatively small form factor. It also boasts wide compatibility, supporting major fast-charging standards including USB Power Delivery (PD 3.0), Programmable Power Supply (PPS), and Qualcomm Quick Charge (QC 3.0).
The ThinkPlus 190W Power Bank has launched in China at a price of CNY 259 (approximately $37), positioning it as a highly competitive offering for its capabilities. Unfortunately, Lenovo has not announced any official plans for an international release. Historically, many ThinkPlus accessories have remained exclusive to the Chinese market, which may leave global users hoping for a wider launch.
Bottom Line: Lenovo's ThinkPlus 190W Power Bank sets a new bar with its combination of extreme output, fast self-charging, intelligent multi-port management, and the invaluable built-in display. It’s a travel-friendly powerhouse designed for professionals and power users who rely on multiple devices. While its international availability is uncertain, it signals a exciting direction for what power banks can offer beyond simple battery storage.
