UGREEN Nexode 100W GaN USB C Charger, 4-Port Compact Foldable Fast Laptop Charger Power Adapter for MacBook Pro/Air, iPad Pro, iPhone 17/16/15 Series, Galaxy S25/S24, Pixel 10/9, Steam Deck, Pixelbook: Is It Worth Buying?

The spec sheet points to a charger built around one strong port rather than four equal ones. The 100W ceiling is only reached when a single USB-C port is active with a 5A-rated cable; plug in more devices and the total output gets shared across them, so each port delivers less than its theoretical max. UGREEN's own numbers back this up: a MacBook Air M3 reportedly reaches 55% charge in under 30 minutes, but that figure is specific to one port carrying the full load, not four ports running at once.

The GaN chip is what makes 100W possible in a case this size, and the foldable plug is aimed squarely at people who throw a charger in a bag rather than leave it plugged in at a desk. Built-in temperature sensors and a PWM chip that adjusts output are standard safety features on chargers in this class, and they matter more here because the unit is doing double duty as both a laptop and multi-device charger.

This is a solid pick for anyone who travels with a MacBook Air or Pro, a tablet, and a phone, and wants to leave the bulky laptop brick at home. It also works well as a shared charging station on a nightstand or desk, since the USB-A port covers older accessories like headphones or a Switch controller without needing a separate cable type. The compact footprint and foldable prongs make it easy to pack alongside a laptop sleeve.

If you own a Dell or Lenovo laptop, manufacturer specs flag that those brands won't charge at full speed on this adapter, so check your laptop's own charging protocol before buying. Anyone who regularly charges four devices simultaneously at high speed should also look elsewhere, since the 100W total gets divided rather than duplicated per port. And because the charging cable isn't included, factor that into your purchase if you don't already own a compatible 100W USB-C cable.
