The Anker laptop power bank means you will always be able to charge your laptop on the go. It is now £69.99 in a great discount down from £89.99. This is saving shoppers a fab 22%.
Designed for multitaskers, featuring three USB-C ports each delivering up to 100W, you can power a MacBook and other devices simultaneously without losing charging speed.

Shoppers love this portable charger. One said: "This is a powerful, well-designed power bank that's perfect for anyone needing a reliable charging solution for multiple devices. Would definitely recommend!"
Another said: "A no-brainer recommendation - if you're doing a couple of days on the move for work, or travelling anywhere, this is a worthy addition to your bag as it will give you a complete charge of a laptop and your phone, or 4+ charges just of your phone, meaning you'll never be panic-hunting for a power supply should a flight be delayed or missed etc."
A third said: "Really good charger and portability, it's an all-in-one and a game-changer with those built-in cables which are very sturdy, you won't need to worry about it ripping."

No Laptops, No Problem: why one Cape Town café is reclaiming the space
When was the last time you went into a coffee shop and just, you know, drank coffee? Maybe chatted with a friend, or watched the world go by the window. When you weren't on your phone, or catching up on emails. When there wasn't someone at the table opposite tapping feverishly into their MacBook. Chances are that was me, and for that I apologise. At least I'm not (and never will be) that guy in the corner talking loudly on a Zoom call. I'm not sure when we all decided that restaurants and coffee shops were also de facto offices. That by virtue of buying a R38 coffee, we had now paid rent for two hours (maybe more) of remote work using someone else's water and Wi-Fi to do business or hold meetings. But, somehow, imperceptibly, it happened. And I'm not altogether sure I like it. Should cafés be quiet corners for remote work and Zoom calls, or buzzing hubs for conversation and connection? So when a friend told me about a polite little note at Our Local in Sea Point, I had to head down for a look. 'We are a small community space and are about people connecting, so unforch no laptops allowed. Like not even for a cheeky email :)' For Michael Carter, Creative Director/Owner of Our Local, the decision to limit laptop use wasn't about being anti-tech or making things difficult for patrons; it was about preserving the essence of the café. 'At our Sea Point store, which is much smaller [ than the original Our Local in Kloof Street ], we have a no-laptops-at-all policy,' says Carter. 'The size of the space was really the deciding factor: we simply can't create the kind of warm, relaxed environment we're known for if it turns into a mini co-working hub.' So instead of leaving it to the (always friendly) waiters and baristas to police, Walker went with the polite notice on the tables and menu. 'Our Local is about switching off, connecting, and taking a proper break,' he adds. 'When half the room feels like a call centre or gaming room, it's hard to feel like you're getting that escape. The vibe shifts – and not in a good way. People also will take calls on Teams and spread out files – it really can become quite comical.' At the original Our Local in Kloof Street, the larger space has allowed Carter to be a little more flexible, with designated 'laptop zones' in the backroom and bar as a compromise that caters to remote workers without disrupting the café experience. It's a fair compromise, but still the policy has sparked mixed reactions. 'Some people totally get it and even thank us for keeping the space human,' says Carter. 'Others don't love it, and our staff do sometimes bear the brunt of that. But we've found it's something worth standing behind.' Besides chattering Zoom calls and extended meetings ruining the vibe of the space, cafés transforming into remote work hubs – just without, y'know, that rent payable each month – also hits owners where it hurts: the bottom line. 'Guests sitting with laptops for hours can affect table turnover, and that directly impacts our team, especially waiters who rely on tips to earn a living,' adds Carter. 'Our business supports real people with families, so this matters to us.' While some remote workers may bristle at the idea of a 'no devices' zone, Carter certainly isn't suggesting a citywide crackdown. 'We're not saying every café or restaurant should follow suit — each space is different. But we do think more places should feel confident drawing the line where it makes sense for them. A restaurant isn't automatically a co-working space, and it's okay to say so.' In a world where digital burnout is real and meaningful connection is rarer than a flat white, perhaps introducing a few limits on laptops is no bad thing. After all, sometimes the very best ideas are sparked over coffee and conversations, not spreadsheets.

Fire TV Stick owners offered cheap way to stream Sky TV and it's totally legal
Amazon is offering those with a Fire TV Stick the chance to stream Sky for a cheaper price. It's no secret that millions of Fire TV Stick owners are tuning into expensive Sky streams for a fraction of the usual price. However, most homes getting that premium content without signing up for an official contract are often doing so illegally with adapted devices offering full access to sports and movies via so-called "dodgy" streams. Although this might seem tempting, watching via unofficial platforms comes at a risk, with users often exposed to malware and other worrying issues, including seeing adult content. Luckily, If you happen to own a Fire TV Stick, there's now a way to get very cheap Sky and it's totally legal. In fact, Amazon is actually offering the deal on its website. The bargain content boost is dishing out access to Sky's NOW telly service for just £6.99 per month - that's a £3 saving off the usual cost. That low price includes a NOW Entertainment Membership with those signing up getting access to channels includingSky Comedy, Sky Atlantic, Sky Max, Sky Documentaries and Sky Crime. The discount even lasts for a whole six months which means Fire TV Stick users get cheaper Sky telly for the rest of 2025. The only catch is you must be a new member of NOW, and you must act before June 20th - that's when the offer ends. To redeem the deal, Amazon says users simply need to head to the NOW app of their Fire TV Stick and sign up. "You pay £6.99 a month for 6 months of Entertainment Membership instead of the usual selling price of £9.99 a month," Amazon confirmed.
