Quick Astro E4 Review Thoughts:

After using this on a trip to the west coast, it’s hard not to like the Anker Astro E4.  It was kept in a laptop case and on the way home used to charge an LG Optimus smartphone and iPod Nano at the same time.  It helped to deliver extra power for the items ahead of the next flight and arrival at the final destination.  It gives you plenty of charge if you’re waiting at an airport terminal for a flight and can’t find any available outlets.  That’s not to mention it will charge your devices several times over, as needed.  The item can get a bit warm or hot, so be cautious when using it to make sure you don’t leave it on in a bag for an extended period of time.  Otherwise, it’s nice and compact and lightweight, and should serve your travel needs quite well.

As of our report and review, you can find Anker Astro E4 here for under $50, which is a great deal for those looking for extra power for their mobile devices on the go.
