UGREEN Nexode 100W GaN Charger Delivers Reliable Power Across Four Ports

Hotel rooms, home offices, libraries, and school desks share one familiar problem: too many devices and too few outlets. A laptop, phone, tablet, and earbuds quickly turn a single wall socket into a puzzle of adapters and cables. UGREEN’s Nexode 100W GaN charger, priced at $39.98 (was $55), solves that with one compact unit. Three USB-C ports and one USB-A port share a total of 100 watts, so a full charge session for several gadgets runs from a single connection.

Two of the USB-C connections can supply the full 100 watts when used alone. Plug in a MacBook Air or Pro with a good cable, and the charger has enough electricity to give you around half a charge in about half an hour, under normal conditions. The third USB-C port and the USB-A port each have a maximum power output of roughly 22.5 watts, which is more than enough to keep phones, tiny tablets, and the like running at a reasonable speed. You can plug in many devices, and the charger will automatically divide the 100-watt budget among them. Common pairings include 65 watts on one USB-C and 30 watts or 22.5 watts on the other, and for three-port combos, it’s usually about 45 watts, 30 watts, and 22.5 watts, albeit everything stays inside that 100-watt threshold.

In terms of compatibility, it includes all of the usual suspects: MacBooks, iPads, iPhones from recent releases, Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets, a Steam Deck, and a plethora of other USB-C devices that can charge at their full potential. Some Dell and Lenovo laptops may be limited by the protocol and may not reach their full potential, but they will still receive a useful quantity of power. Of course, there are protocols to handle all of the negotiating, like as Power Delivery, PPS, and Quick Charge, so most devices will simply plug in and receive what they can manage.


The GaN circuitry allows the entire thing to remain quite compact. It measures roughly 87 by 84 by 30 millimeters and weighs around 289 grams, making it small enough to fit in a suitcase or keep on a desk without taking up too much space. At a library or classroom desk, it lets many students or coworkers charge without fighting for outlets, whilst at home, it simply rests next to your laptop and charges your phone and headphones overnight.


Safety-wise, some clever circuitry is at work here, continually monitoring conditions and regulating the output to keep it from getting too hot, while overvoltage, overcurrent, and short circuit protections are also in place. The housing is built of fire-resistant materials suitable for indoor use. Users report steady performance, even after long sessions, with no sudden throttling or shutdowns under regular loads.
