Edited to say: I never post on here (I have apparently 11 posts since setting up an account in Dec. 2007, and I didn't even set up an account for years and years), and I posted about this. If you're on the fence, you should probably pull the trigger. If you're not, that's cool too.

Though, I've heard that the Anker I'm comparing it to has problems overheating, so maybe it's better that it isn't as small as possible. That said, I personally haven't had any overheating / performance issues with either this or the much-smaller Anker.

It gets even worse than that:
Fair warning 2: reportedly on many airplanes that have 110/220V seat power outlets, only chargers up to 65W work. 100W chargers won't charge at all, at any Wattage.
So for many (most?) people, a lower wattage is the right choice (and those chargers are lighter and cheaper).

Can 65W still charge larger laptops? Like a MacBook Pro?

The other issue with your statement is that a 65W or 100W charger only consumes that much power if it has devices using it that consume that much power. If you plug a cell phone into a 100W charger, it does not consume 100W.
The issues occur when you are trying to use a high wattage charger with a high wattage device on a plane. Older planes are sometimes limited to 60W. Newer ones may be 100-150W.
Nonetheless, you will have problems getting an outlet to hold a 100W brick on a plane or an airport outlet. They just dont have the friction due to over use. You might be better off with one of these or the 100W version if it is available:

1. People buy 100W chargers and are surprised how heavy and bulky they are. This is true of all 100W chargers.
2. This particular charger has unusual dimensions. It may actually be better when trying to fit it into a power strip, but it is not as flat and square as other 100W chargers
This one is just $11, hence asking.
Beefy gaming laptops (those large 6 lbs ones) draw up to 140-160W or even more.
Even my 30W PD charger charges my x86 Surface Pro. At slow speed. But it charges it. That's my backup charger. It's super light, so great to travel with.
