Nexode Air: Ugreen launches new 100W charger with compact design

Ugreen is expanding its Nexode Air lineup with a new 100W model in the US. Like the earlier 45W and 65W (Notebookcheck review) versions, it focuses on a slim, compact design but now delivers enough power for larger laptops. Buyers can pick up the new 100W GaN charger on Amazon. It retails for $49.99, although Prime members can currently get it for a discounted $35.99.

Unlike the Nexode Pro series, the Nexode Air 100W only has a single USB-C port. That means it can charge just one device at a time. On the flip side, it can output a consistent 100W every time, which is enough for most USB-C laptops, handheld PCs, tablets, and phones. Ugreen says that's enough to get a MacBook Pro to 55% or an iPhone 17 Pro Max to 68% in 30 minutes.

The size is probably the biggest selling point here. At 1.40 x 1.36 x 1.97 inches, it's up to 74% smaller than typical 100W chargers. The prongs also fold away, so it won't snag on anything in your bag. Despite the smaller footprint, it still carries TÜV Rheinland, UL, and CSA safety certifications, along with the usual protections against things like overheating and overcurrent.

The Nexode Air 100W is available now on Amazon. Ugreen also includes a 100W USB-C cable in the box.
