I have read different reviews concerning whether or not it would be able to charge a laptop or tablet. Can it charge either of these?

It has 2 USB ports so it should be able to charge anything that can be charged using an USB cable. Have used it to charge phones and gps with the USB ports with no problem.

It should charge a tablet, I use it to charge my smartphone and a siriusxm radio. Also use it for my dashcam.

Tablet will charge from USB port. I plug an inverter into "cigerette" port and plug my laptop charger into inverter when my laptop battery is low. I have never tried to fully charge my laptop with it. If I wanted to do that I probably would not use the Bestek but use the car "cigerette" port directly.

It's ok to charge mobile,even though it takes hrs long..based on my personal view it might be bit changeling only.

Just be aware it can't charge laptops the current only goes one way. It comes IN from the USB plugged into a laptop with the micro USB plugged into the side of the charger and it goes OUT the USB port on the end of the charger top the micro USB at the end of the charger. I saw someone complain the charger didn't charger their daughter's laptop and instead was draining power...

Yes. There are 2 USB outlets. One is labeled 5v 1 amp and the other is marked 5v 2.1 amp. Either will charge a phone. The 2.1 amp outlet, however can be used to charge a tablet.

I have used it on kindles, 3 different android tablets and2 different phones. It will charge just about any portable device i can think although i dont think it would do much good for laptops. All 3 ports will charge any device. The difference is that one port(a) will charge apple fast and one port(s) will charge android devices faster. The one with no letter will still charge anything just slower. I charged a kidle hdx from 7% to full and still had 2 lights showing

Yes - it has a USB port, so should charge any device that charges through a USB cable.

Yes...you can plug the USB end into any charger and it should work. I used it both in my wall socket and my laptop and it charged with no problem.

In theory it should be able to supply 500mA to any given port, of course with a power supply of only 1000mA it will not do so to all ports. I have been able to charge both phones and tablets without any problem, however I have not tried more than two at a time.

No. This only charges at 5v. You would need 13-20v to charge a laptop. (Depending on model) There are packs available to charge laptops, but this is not one.

It should be able to charge anything with a USB port. It is only a charger, not a hub. I use it to charge my iPhone, iPad, Nook, etc.

I use it to charge my Asus Transformer tablet, my ipod, and my phone. It has always worked just fine. It takes the usb-type universal cords.

I used it to charge my iPhone/iPad I think anything will charge as long as it's a USB charger. It worlds great!

If there is an adapter for it it will work.(I will check when I get home) I have hooked up PC laptops to it and it works great. The USB port is the most valuable part of this device in my opinion. It will charge ANY USB supported device. Best electronic support device I have ever purchased.

The iCarrier isn't built to charge laptops. Tablets and smartphones on the other hand can be charged by this thing.

No it will not charge a laptop as laptops take 45-90 watts and it is limited to 10 watts. It can charge all cell phones, and most other portable devices. It can charge tablets but they are hard work. the power box pedal generator is a better device for tablets and you could power a laptop with it by charging and external battery first. The videos on our website show how to do this as well as under support, advanced power box guide.

Yes, this can be used to charge an iPad and other tablets. However, I would recommend it. Tablets draw a lot more power than a phone does. Also, keep in mind if you are using the device while it is charging, it diminishes the charging process. If you are looking for something for a tablet, I would strongly recommend an external battery back up for a tablet as the AH is higher thus better suited for charging tablets. On average they run around $40. Well worth it! I hope this helps. Good luck!

Yes, as long as it has a micro USB connection, it should charge any device.
