Everyone understands the joy of staying in a hotel. The fresh, turned-down sheets, the views, the comforts of home all around you, the luxurious amenities – talk about relaxing!

TRAVEL ACCESSORY: ASUS ZenPower Slim Power Bank

One of a traveler's biggest nightmares is a drained battery. That is why, a power bank is one of the essential things I always bring whenever I travel. An extra power pack for my smartphone, action camera or other device is definitely a must-have travel accessory wherever I go.

Just recently, ASUS Philippines sent me one of their newest power banks, the ASUS ZenPower Slim. A super-thin, super-stylish power bank, the ASUS ZenPower Slim is packed with 3000 mAh of power and weighs only 81 grams at 115mm x 71mm x 8.3mm dimensions. More to that, the ASUS ZenPower Slim is not just for power; it also has a built-in LED torch that shines a beam of bright light wherever you need it. Cool noh?!

The ASUS ZenPower Slim is a good travel companion for day tours or if you want to bring a power bank that you can easily slip into your pocket. But for a heavy user like me, I would still prefer a power bank with more than 10,000 mAh of extra power juice for my mobile phone and action camera.

So, whenever you travel, be sure to always have a fully-charged power bank with you; especially if it's going to be on a remote beach or an island where there is no source of electricity.
