If you're anything like us, you've got a lot of tech, and nowhere to plug it all in. Is there anything worse than waiting on the threshold for one device, seemingly stuck perpetually at 54 percent?
UGREEN is a brand that believes in two things: innovation and value. The company wants to help the users of today simplify wherever possible—at work, at home, even in the car.
UGREEN's catalog of offerings is diverse and impressive. In this product review, we take a closer look at a couple of our favorites: the GaN X 100W wall charger and UGREEN's black-label PD 100W desktop fast charger.
The UGREEN GaN X 100W Wall Charger
Say goodbye to the unfortunate power strip that you've had under your desk since college—there's a new sheriff in town, and he's here to distribute power equitably between everything that you own, all at once.
Simply plug the GaN X 100W into the wall and you're ready to charge up to four USB-compatible devices. On its face, you'll find 3 USB-C ports, as well as one USB-A 3.0 port, just in case you feel like kickin' it old-school.
This Black Friday, it's 28 percent off; you can grab one for only $57.59 with our exclusive promo code: BFOFFD10 at checkout. This offer is valid through November 29th, and supplies are limited. We recommend that you get yours before they're gone.
This wall charger's Navitas GaN Power IC is allegedly able to save you an entire hour of charging time across four devices when you charge them all at once, thanks to its turbo-charged 100W USB-C connection. This semiconductor generates less heat than traditional charging cells; its superior heat-distribution technology ensures that you'll never find it overheating on the backburner.
In accordance with the latest in GaN power distribution, the UGREEN 100W wall charger is able to intelligently divvy out power to each of your devices for optimal efficiency. It is designed to protect your collection from over-current, over-voltage, over-heating, allowing you to charge devices overnight without worry.
This power brick is incredibly powerful while remaining extraordinarily compact and portable. Yank it out of the wall, stick it in your pocket, and you're ready to roll.
The UGREEN power distribution desktop charger brings the party just a little bit closer to home—it puts four charging ports right where you need them for easy access, precluding the need to degrade yourself on all fours daily.
From now until November 29th, you can save 24 percent off of this slick little number. At $75.99, it's a steal. Use offer code BFOFFDD5 to get in on this exclusive Black Friday deal.
An included input cable runs from the wall and into the back of the hub. Its flat and streamlined profile makes for an unimposing presence, perfect for the minimalist or one with a perpetually chaotic desktop. More exciting, however, is the punch that this thing packs in terms of power distribution.
You'll notice that the first two USB-C ports have been labelled with their max power delivery capacity; 100W of power, able to revive two laptops or mobile devices at once. UGREEN's site claims that you can charge a 16" MacBook Pro in less than two hours total.
As the product's name would suggest, this black-label desktop charger has also been outfitted with all of the GaN technology described previously.
If you've got a family to entertain, both of these charging hubs will be lifesavers when everybody's got a dead device in their hands. Now, you and the brood will never find yourselves arguing over who gets to bogart the power brick again.
It's My Power, and I Need It Now
The holidays are coming. If you buy your UGREEN device from UGREEN itself or from any of a number of authorized UGREEN distributors, your purchase will be covered by a limited 2-year warranty (not like you'll need it).
The measures that the brand takes against things like surges, shorted circuits, and overheating, however, makes this warranty feel like more of a courtesy than anything else. You'd be hard-pressed to run into a scenario where either of these top-of-the-line charging hubs fall short of expectation.
