Introduction

Ugreen is set to revolutionize the way we charge our devices with the announcement of its latest Nexode desktop GaN charger, now boasting an impressive total power output of 500W—up from its predecessor's 300W. This powerhouse charger is equipped with five USB-C ports and one USB-A port, enabling the charging of five laptops at once, all without the chaos of a cluttered power strip filled with bulky adapters.

Release Date and Design

While the Nexode Desktop Charger 500W is scheduled to hit the market in March 2025, pricing details remain under wraps. Yet, early buzz suggests that this device could significantly streamline your travel charging setup, despite its substantial design intended for stationary use on desks, workshops, or even kitchen counters. Whether you're multitasking with a gaming laptop, a tablet, or even high-demand power tools like e-bikes, this charger is up to the task.

Specifications and Capabilities

The Nexode Desktop Charger 500W supports both USB-PD 3.1 and Qualcomm's Quick Charge 3.0 fast-charging technologies, making it suitable for a variety of devices. The top USB-C port can deliver a robust 240W of power, while the remaining five ports distribute a total of 260W collectively, with each port capable of delivering up to 100W. To put that in perspective, you could power one high-performance gaming laptop at 240W, along with two additional laptops at 100W each and one at 60W, or alternatively, one laptop at 240W and four at 60W each, plus an extra device charging at 20W from the USB-A port.

User Experience Considerations

Interestingly, while this charger offers tremendous power capabilities, it does not come with a screen to indicate output or port functionality. Users may find themselves needing a cheat sheet to effectively navigate which port to utilize for specific devices.

Conclusion

With its powerful features and convenience, the Ugreen Nexode Desktop Charger 500W promises to be a game-changer for tech enthusiasts, frequent travelers, and anyone else reliant on multiple devices.
