UGREEN Nexode 100W vs Anker Prime 100W: which GaN charger for your desk?

The short answer

Both are excellent and either will charge a laptop and a phone properly. The split is ports versus polish. UGREEN gives you four outputs — three USB-C and a USB-A — so a laptop, phone, tablet and watch all run from one wall socket. Anker gives you three, in a slightly smaller body, with a live wattage display that is genuinely useful when you are trying to work out why something is charging slowly. For a family desk or a household charging station, the extra UGREEN port earns its place. For a travel bag where every millimetre counts, Anker's density wins.

Common questions

Will 100W charge a MacBook Pro?

It will charge a 14-inch MacBook Pro at full speed. A 16-inch model can draw up to 140W, so it charges, just more slowly under heavy load — step up to a 140W charger if that is your machine.

Does using all four ports reduce speed?

Yes. The 100W is a shared total, so the charger splits it between active ports. A laptop alone gets the full amount; a laptop plus three devices does not.
