There are many brands in the world that produce accessories for our Apple equipment. However, those that have really proven themselves in terms of quality, reliability and ease of use can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
One of such normal brand UGREEN. These guys make some of the best devices that do not fall apart even after years of constant use. Plus they have a wide range of hubs and adapters, which are often simply necessary for us, owners of modern MacBooks.
In addition, UGREEN produces chargers of different power for a variety of devices. We received three new products from the UGREEN Nexode Pro series at 45, 65 and 100 WattsYou can replace several chargers at once and turn off the outlet at home and at work.
Several ports for simultaneous charging, stylish design, modern hardware with support for several fast charging standards – everything is there each of the heroes of this review. Tested, impressed, took.
If you take note, the charging will actually be like this:
UGREEN Nexode Pro 45W for charging two devices (even laptops)
The case is plastic, matte. Practical, and fingerprints are not retained.
I remember how long and meticulously I chose a compact charger with several ports to charge my MacBook and iPhone at the same time. In the end, the money was thrown down the drain – the charger could not handle several devices at the same time, overheated, and according to GaN technology, it only had a beautiful nameplate on the box.
The UGREEN Nexode Pro 45W charges your smartphone and laptop equally fast. This compact charger has two USB-C ports, one of which is additionally marked to show that it is the most prominent one.
Device, like the other twoSupports the following fast charging standards:
✦ AFS (Samsung)
✦ Fast Charging 3.0
✦ PowerDelivery
✦ SCP(Huawei)
✦ FAST charging
At the same time, Nexode Pro 45W does not heat up, and inside there are many different levels of overcharging, overheating and short circuit.
When charging one device, the output power will be provided 45 W when connecting the cable to any of the two ports.
Charging MacBook Air M2 (2022), uses one USB-C port.
When using two ports at the same time, the power will be reduced as follows:
1st port: 25W
2nd port: 20W
The power of the charger may vary within plus or minus 5 W.
Charge MacBook Air M2 (2022) and iPhone 15 Pro simultaneously.
Important: UGREEN Nexode Pro 45W is sold without a branded cable in the kit, so if you want to charge your gadgets as quickly as possible, with this charger, look for a cable with PowerDelivery support.
There is such a “travel“-option for fast charging of your device 3299 rubles. From the sale of every penny spent.
UGREEN Nexode Pro 65W for Three Devices
Higher power, compact dimensions.
This option is suitable for those who want to charge three devices at once from one outlet. The charger has two USB-C ports and one USB-A.
The output characteristics of the Nexode Pro 65W are as follows:
✦ USB-C1: 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 12V/3A, 15V/3A, 20V/3.25A
✦ USB-C2: 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 12V/3A, 15V/3A, 20V/3.25A
✦ USB-A: 4.5V/5A, 5V/4.5A, 5V/3A, 9V/2A, 12V/1.5A
Power is distributed between ports with priority USB-C1, which is marked with a smartphone and laptop icon. If you connect one device, the transfer speed will be as follows:
✦ USB-C1: 65W
✦ USB-C2: 65W
✦ USB-A: 22.5W
Charging MacBook Air M2 (2022), uses USB-C1 port.
If you use all three connectors, the situation will be as follows:
✦ USB-C1: 45W
✦ USB-C2 and USB-A: 5V/3A
Charge MacBook Air M2 (2022), iPhone 15 Pro and Apple AirPods Pro simultaneously.
The Nexode Pro 65W charger comes with a cable that supports fast charging. The cable is branded, in a durable braid, it is pleasant to use.
I would like to separately note the rather compact size and weight for a GaN charger. This block weighs about 116 grams, and its dimensions allow you to easily hide this powerful charger in a backpack or even a pocket.
Considering the price of this charger at 3967 rubles, there is no reason not to buy it to replace the same original charger from your MacBook.
UGREEN Nexode Pro 100W that charges everything
Powerful, yet conveniently portable.
A 100W GaN charger sounds good. Personally, I’m used to the idea that such a device should be desktop, heavy, and used only in stationary mode, like you just rang the socket once and don’t touch it anymore. Because it’s inconvenient to carry around.
Nexode Pro 100W breaks all these stereotypes, because it is as compact and light as possible for chargers of this type. It, like the previous one, can be used as a personal solution for three gadgets.
Only in the case of Nexode Pro 100W, the charging time is reduced several times, thanks to the higher output power:
✦ USB-C1: 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 12V/3A, 15V/3A, 20V/5A
✦ USB-C2: 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 12V/2.5A
✦ USB-A: 5V/3A, 9V/2A, 12V/1.5A
Distribution between ports, if used onelike this:
✦ USB-C1: 100W
✦ USB-C2: 30W
✦ USB-A: 22.5W
if you use it two ports of three:
✦ USB-C1 and USB-C2: 65W/30W
✦ USB-C1 and USB-A: 65W/22.5W
✦ USB-C2 and USB-A: 5V/3A
If you use everything three ports:
✦ USB-C1: 65W
✦ USB-C2 and USB-A: 5 V/3 A
Charge MacBook Air M2 (2022), iPhone 15 Pro and Apple AirPods Pro simultaneously.
Important note: At no time during testing and use of this charger (and the other two too) worked absolutely silently. If you have used chargers with GaN technology, then most likely you know that they like to hum or whistle during operation. This sound is usually barely audible, but after a while it becomes wildly annoying.
In the case of the UGREEN charger, part of the Nexode Pro, there are no such problems at all.
The Nexode Pro 100W also comes with a cable that supports fast charging, you take it out of the box and use it. This charger, which can power any laptop, tablet, smartphone, and everything else, costs 5,999 rubles.
For a fast, compact and convenient charger, this is a great price.
Three chargers from UGREEN to charge everything
Finally, GaN chargers with high-quality components, adequate dimensions, weight and for reasonable money.
I once heard a smart thought that goes like this: “I don’t have much money to buy cheap things” I understood the meaning of this saying when I was tempted by the low price tag, bought a no-name three-port GaN charger, which did not meet my expectations at all, and now does not work at all for some unknown reason.
That is, I need to buy a new one, and taking into account the money already spent, the ability to quickly and effectively charge my gadgets will cost me more than any UGREEN Nexode Pro series charger.
So I recommend not to repeat my mistakes and immediately take a reliable charging unit from a proven brand that works and gives the declared power.
Having found such trouble-free chargers in our time, after the abundance of low-quality analogues, appeared on the roulette. But now you can come out a winner in this game, not overpay and get an excellent charger for your gadgets.
Fortunately, UGREEN Nexode Pro has a choice.
