Looking for a good portable charger

Hey, I'm looking for a portable charger that can at least somewhat competently charge my MacBook Pro (2016 nTB model) at least somewhat competently when I'm on the go. 

 

These are the two I was looking at and I wondered if anyone has an better suggestions or could recommend either one over the other.

I'm leaning towards the Anker PowerCore.

ANKER hands down. We've bought battery packs and Lightning USB cables from them, and have had amazing service when getting the Lightning cables replaced under the 18 month warranty. I don't mean to sound like a paid advertisement, but seriously, if I didn't already have a TP-Link, a promotional Intel USB power bank, and our existing ANKER power banks, I'd be buying another ANKER one this holiday season for my XPS 15 as it can charge over USB-C as well. For now, I can't justify it until I sell some of the existing battery banks, but definitely go ANKER.
