4 sources2 derived$59.99as of Jul 31

The Anker Prime 100W GaN Wall Charger puts three ports and 100W maximum output into a compact block. Macworld praised the clever design and travel-friendly dimensions and noted it fast-charges most MacBook models, the 16-inch Pro excepted. The foldable plug helps it pack, though it runs quite warm under intensive use. Travelers and professionals charging several devices at once are the audience, but no cables are included.

Strengths
  • 100W maximum charging power across USB-C ports for fast charging laptops and devices
  • Compact dimensions measuring 1.7 × 1.1 × 2.7 inches and weighing only 6 ounces
  • Foldable plug design reduces overall length to 7.5 centimeters for better travel portability
Watch-outs
  • Gets very warm during fast-charging of MacBook Air M3 models
  • Does not include charging cables for compatible devices

Ranked #5 in Best Gan Wall Chargers

3 sources2 derived$27.99as of Jul 31

The UGREEN Nexode 65W GaN USB C Wall Charger folds flat, which makes it easy to travel with and easy to live with day to day. Reviewers noted the efficient GaN internals keep temperatures stable under load, and the two USB-C ports handle fast charging for modern devices. Output shifts depending on which ports you use, and the bottom USB-A port tops out at 22.5W even on its own. It's a good pick for keeping several devices charged; it's a poor one if you need maximum power from every port at once.

Strengths
  • Foldable design allows easy stowing in bags without sharp edges
  • Supports fast charging protocols including Power Delivery 3.0, Quick Charge 4+, and Apple fast charging
  • Compact GaN technology enables stable temperatures during high-power charging
Watch-outs
  • Bottom USB-A port only delivers 22.5W even when used individually
  • Power distribution uneven when multiple ports are used simultaneously

How they stack up

Anker Prime Charger

The Anker Prime 100W charger surpasses the 67W model in power output and is better suited for MacBook Air M3 models, though it gets warm during intensive use. Compared to the Anker Phone Charger with ActiveShield 4.0, the Prime model lacks the smart display feature but offers more consistent performance for high-power devices. It's more powerful than the UGREEN but less feature-rich than the Anker Phone model.

UGREEN Nexode 65W GaN USB C Wall Charger

The UGREEN Nexode 65W charger stands out with its foldable design and compact GaN technology, but it falls short compared to Anker's models in terms of power distribution and port capabilities. Unlike the Anker Prime 100W charger, which offers higher wattage and better temperature control, the UGREEN's bottom USB-A port delivers only 22.5W even when used alone, making it less efficient for users needing maximum power from all ports.
