I have too many devices I need to charge at the end of the day, but they all end up having to fight for the same free outlet. Between a phone, earbuds, smartwatch, and laptop, that would be four slots on a power strip dedicated to charging if I ended up using individual adapters for each of them. And that’s exactly why I do not use individual adapters for each of them.
Get yourself something like this Ugreen Nexode four-port charger and free up the space on your surge protector while each of your devices can be charged simultaneously. Right now, Amazon has the USB-C charger selling for 23% off: Typically going for $43, the discount brings it down to only $33.
This multi-port charger is capable of high speed charging at up to 100W. To attach some real numbers, if you have a dead MacBook Air with the M3 chipset and just 30 minutes before you’ve got to head out the door, you’d be able to bring that back up to 55%. And hour will bring you up to 70%. In order to achieve that speed, you can use one of the top two USB-C ports.
Charge 4 Devices at Once
All together, the Ugreen charger has three USB-C ports and one USB-A port. The top two USB-C ports are capable of up to 100W Max, with the third USB-C and bottom USB-A handling up to 22.5W Max. This is when you use them individually. When all four parts are in use, you can expect 45W on USB-C1, 30W on USB-C2, and10.5W each on USB-C3 and the USB-A.
The Ugreen four-in-one charger is designed to be compact and actually comes in smaller than the standard MacBook charger. This charger measures in at 2.7 inches by 2.7 inches by 1.3 inches and weighs just 8.3 ounces. The prongs also fold in making it easy to pack into a bag or pocket without risk of it snagging on anything.
It’s also designed with safety in mind. Dynamic sensors are constantly checking the temperatures with the help of the intelligent GaN chip that actively adjusts power outputs to keep your devices safeguarded.
Ugreen has the charger in either dark gray or white. While the white looks more like the Mac charger you might be replacing it with, that one is still full price at $43. To save big, opt for the dark gray as you keep an extra $10 in your pocket.
