Yes you can if you for instance look at the specs on ebay. I think he was pointing out the fact that it is "only" 18W and not 45W.
Also mentioned on amazon:

Yeah thanks, for a 40000mah device it’s pretty thick to not have it at least 45w PD. Would be great to charge a laptop (this isn’t only an Apple thing it’s applicable to most laptops and tablets nowadays)

No one is forcing you to buy this model. They have a whole range. I reckon it is reasonably priced for the features it has.

40000mah and 18w output is like having a car with 500hp but no wheels. Pointless, and no, it is not reasonably priced.

Whatever, we figured out you don't like it, works fine for what I use it for so stop complaining...
If it is so bad, suggest any other powerbank in the same price range with more features.

Actually, don't, cause you are derailing this thread :unsure:
 
I managed to pick up the Huawei AX3, aka Honor Router 3, for R890 all-inclusive on a Banggood group buy. If anyone else wants in on the group there's still time: https://banggood.app.link/K1snE09Zfcb

P.S. I think the link for the group buy only works via the Banggood app.

Was applicable on total and shipping excluding import fees. I used it a month ago to import my xiaomi. No longer valid it seems.

When you get codes you can just try apply it before paying and see for yourself.

Oh the possibilities is endless....
You can get some humour by swearing at her, asking for a joke etc.
You can play multiple games, like rock paper scissors for instance.
You can play any artist's music in 'shuffle' mode using spotify free account (specific song request and playlists if you have premium)
You can stream radio stations, especially nice ones that has poor reception in your area.
You can turn lights and switch off (I have a colour wifi light bulb that cost about 200 bucks).
I also have some sonoff wifi switches which I hooked up to various devices e.g. my pc monitor to turn it off by voice when I don't want to get up.

Ask the weather, ask chances of rain in your area, etc etc etc
You can even tell her to remember your favorite number and when you ask her again she will tell you.
Same with things like e.g. 'What is my brother's name' - if you tell her she will remember and all of this info get saved in your google account for future use.

Also, multiple people in the house can install the google home app and let her record their voice print - this means I can say: 'Ok google, where is my phone' and it will ring my phone even though it might be on silent.
But if my brother gives the same command, his phone will ring.

Then there is of course 'routines' - if I tell her 'Ok google, good morning' she will tell me the weather and read the latest news as well as tell me about my daily schedule if I put it in the google calendar app.
These routines you can edit in the google home app, add things like turn lights on and off etc
The default 'good night' routine would for instance ask you what time you want the alarm set and then play some sleeping music (crickets lol).

Possibilities are endless and the AI get improved in the cloud daily, so the speaker gets new functionality on a regular basis.
If you tell her 'Ok, google, I hate you' she would even offer to record your voice in order to give feedback to the google team on how they can improve.

Basically ANY THING you can think of asking you can try and see the response, also stuff like conversions e.g. inches to cm, anything you can google you can ask via voice.

I must try set it up

Yes for sure.

I forgot to mention it is an intercom as well as phone.
If you have more than one speaker you can say 'Ok, google, broadcast' - she will ask you what you want to broadcast and then record your voice and play it on all other speakers in your home. E.g. 'Everyone come to the kitchen, dinner is ready!' ;)

Then if you install google duo (similar to whatsapp / skype calling), you can call other contacts on your phone that also has the duo app - then the speaker becomes a speakerphone.
I know of someone that was alone at home and injured themselves and could not get up - they used this voice calling to call someone for help.
