Today’s a great day to upgrade your old power adapters and charger blocks that take forever to charge up your devices. Right now, the Ugreen Nexode 4-port GaN charger is on sale for just over $33 at Amazon. That’s 40% off its current market price of $55 and a great value for the amount of charging power you’re getting.
This charger block has two USB-C ports that each reach 100 watts of charging, a third USB-C that caps out at 22.5 watts, and a USB-A port that also maxes out at 22.5 watts. When all ports are used simultaneously, their charging powers are reduced (the total 100 watts are distributed among the ports), with the top-most USB-C staying the fastest. This means you can charge up to four devices at once, but prioritize your high-draw devices by plugging them into the right spots.
But if you’re mainly thinking of using this for laptop charging, you’ll want to skip it and look for another model with even higher wattage. The only way this one will do well with laptops is if you only use the first or second USB-C port, otherwise the reduced draw won’t charge fast enough for most laptops—and that defeats the point of having a four-port charger.
This Ugreen Nexode is best if you’re mainly charging a variety of smaller devices like phones, tablets, Steam Decks and Nintendo Switches, earbuds, peripherals, etc. It’s a good all-purpose charger for a household that travels, and now’s a good time to snag one as it’s 30% off.
