UGREEN NEXODE PRO 100W 3-PORT GAN FAST CHARGER: SMALL YET POWERFUL USB-C CHARGER
Macworld|January 2025
Thanks to its use of GaN technology, the Ugreen Nexode Pro 100W 3-Port GaN Fast Charger (fave.co/4fzAzzZ) is 45 percent smaller than the Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter (fave.co/4flHgjd)-the U.S. model of the Nexode Pro measures 2.8 by 1.7 by 1.3 inches (7.1 by 4.3 by 3.3cm).

The U.K. and E.U. models are slightly longer due to the dimensions of the three-prong plug. The size isn't all that's different; the Nexode Pro has an angular look with dark gray housing, though it's a bit scratch sensitive. It might be a better match for a MacBook than Apple's white power adapter.

The Nexode Pro has USB ports available for charging, labeled USB-C 1, USB-C 2, and USB-A. The more powerful USB-C 1 is specially labeled with a symbol for a laptop. A maximum of 100W is only available at this connection if no other device is connected. Fast charging of the 14-inch MacBook Pro is possible via this connection, although the 16-inch model requires 140W for fast charging.
