UGREEN Nexode 100W USB C Charger for MacBook Pro

This compact 100W GaN charger from UGREEN offers four fast-charging ports to power a laptop and multiple mobile devices at once, reducing time waiting for batteries to fill. It is aimed at users who need a portable desktop charger that delivers high-power USB‑C output for devices such as MacBook Pro, iPad Pro and modern smartphones, while remaining smaller than traditional 100W adaptors.

Key Points

The unit supports multiple fast charge protocols so phones, tablets and laptops can draw the fastest safe current available according to the manufacturer. Its GaN design keeps the charger physically smaller and cooler than older silicon-based bricks, which makes it convenient to carry in a work bag or for travel. The charger can deliver full-speed charging across up to four devices simultaneously, but note that some laptops such as certain Dell models will accept a maximum of 65W due to their own charging protocol limitations. ⚡

Safety features are built in to protect against short circuits, overvoltage, overheating and overcurrent, which gives added reassurance when charging higher value devices. The unit is not foldable and has a reported weight of about 290g, so it is portable though slightly heavier than ultra-light travel chargers. 🔋

Benefits

This charger reduces the number of separate adaptors and cables needed on a desk and simplifies charging in shared sockets. For someone who alternates between a MacBook Pro 16 inch and a smartphone, the ability to boost a laptop from empty to 42% in approximately 30 minutes, according to the manufacturer, can be particularly useful when time is limited. The broad protocol support including PD and Qualcomm Quick Charge makes it versatile across many brands and product generations.

Usage Recommendations

Use high-quality USB‑C cables to ensure the best power delivery and check that device firmware is up to date for optimal charging compatibility. Avoid using the charger in damp or wet environments and keep the plug and cable connectors free from foreign objects before connecting. Consider that Samsung fast charging is supported at 25W according to the manufacturer, and that the charger’s total 100W output will be divided when multiple devices draw power simultaneously.
