UGREEN’s Nexode Pro 160W GaN Charger is One Brick, Five Ports, Zero Luggage Guilt
Travel used to mean a tangle of bricks and cables pouring out of every suitcase. Laptops require their own big adapters, phones require another, while tablets and earbuds occupy separate compartments of the suitcase. UGREEN’s Nexode Pro 160W GaN 5-Port charger, priced at $59.99 (was $90), ends that ritual with a single compact block that handles nearly every device you carry.
Four USB-C ports and a single USB-A port sit at the front of a unit that is almost three inches square and nearly an inch thick, yet the foldable prongs tuck away so neatly that it glides into a side pocket without snagging anything or taking up space intended for clothing. The Starlight gray color and substantial feel give it the appearance of being designed to not just withstand but thrive in airport security trays and hotel nightstands.

The total output of this little guy is 160 watts. Plugging a high-demand laptop into one of the top two USB-C ports on its own delivers up to 140 watts, more than enough to charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro from empty to half-full in approximately half an hour. The other USB-C ports are fast enough for tablets and phones, while the USB-A port is suitable for older gadgets or earbuds. When you have multiple devices connected at the same time, the charger simply distributes the 160 watts so that your laptop receives a good charge while phones and smaller gadgets top up for you.
There’s a little touchscreen on the side you can spin. Give it a tap and it will cycle thru all of the live readings you need, such as total power, each port, protocol, and internal temperature. Even when you’re trapped in a long charging session, it displays some simple animated faces to help pass the time, and no matter where you place it, whether it’s hanging from a wall outlet or sitting flat on a desk, the screen remains beautiful and easy to read.
GaN circuitry allows them to keep the entire package compact and efficient, making it ideal for use on the go. Safety systems monitor for heat, voltage spikes, current difficulties, and short circuits. They also have multiple temperature control modes, which keep the unit steady even when loaded with devices for an hour or longer. It works with MacBooks, newer iPhones, Galaxy phones, iPads, Windows computers, and hundreds of other USB-powered devices without requiring any additional adapters.
Simply pack this one charger in your backpack and leave the rest at home, as one wall socket contains an entire charging station. Your bags will be lighter, your hotel room will not be a cluttered mess, and for anyone traveling between home and the office, then to the airport with a laptop, phones, and gadgets, the Nexode Pro 160W eliminates the guesswork of which charger to bring; it simply covers everything.
