On the road quite a bit these days and need something portable that I can plug into when I'm in a meeting and don't have access to my adapters, etc...

Any recommendation for portable power? Preferably something that doesn't use batteries, but I can plug into when I'm around a computer to recharge via USB....need it for my iphone and macbook.

Cheers!

I have absolutely no idea what you are looking for based on your description.

It looks like you want a battery pack with multiple outputs, but then you say something that does not use batteries. Then you say "but I can plug into when I'm around a computer to recharge via USB....need it for my iphone and macbook", either that means you want a battery pack that can be recharged through USB, or you want something that can charge a macbook through USB. It is not the former as you already stated you want something that does not use batteries, so that means you are looking for a portable device that can charge a macbook through USB but does not use batteries.

How do you recharge a MacBook via USB?

You can easily charge your iPhone with a computer just using the data cable that came with your iPhone

Carry the adapters with you.

You still can't charge your MacBook with a portable battery

The GoldX Power Vault does a decent job. It can charge almost anything

I got an 80% charge on my iPad using it.
