Phone charger only and not a good deal IMO. Especially when you can frequently get a 140W (or more) on sale for $15 more.

45W is absolutely capable of charging a laptop. MacBook Airs come with lower power chargers than this. I've charged a Dell workstation with discrete GPU with an Anker 30W while in use. Laptops are not usually running at max output all the time.
The question comes down to use case, actual sustained power delivery, and device health. First, the laptop might not negotiate the full 45W. Even if it does, chargers like this are not made to run at full tilt forever. They tend to heat up, and then throttle, so you might lose the ability to charge part of the way through. Even with this built in protection, you absolutely can burn it out or reduce the life of the charger.
Additionally, at 45W you'll likely be "slow charging" larger devices, particularly if you're using it at the time. It also might not be capable of keeping up depending on the load and attached devices.
If you have a MacBook Air or similar, you're probably fine. For anything else. I wouldn't use this as a primary charger, but if you need something light to travel with, you could probably make it work for a couple days, particularly if you just charge it during downtime.
