"GaN stands for gallium nitride and it is a semiconductor material that's replaced traditional silicon in modern chargers. GaN devices switch at much higher voltages and are quicker than silicon and generate less heat and providing more efficient electrical conversion. The payoff in real life is a charger that's significantly smaller than earlier 65W versions and that operates cooler and safer as well. The foldable plug design means you can simply toss it into your bag without the prongs scratching your laptop or sticking anything."
"The Ugreen Nexode 65W has enough juice to charge a MacBook Air to a 51 percent level in 30 minutes, which is critical when you're rushing out the door and notice your laptop is running on fumes. That 65W rating can handle power-sucking devices like the MacBook Pro, iPad Pro or even a Steam Deck at full throttle. The charger intelligently distributes power across its four ports based on what's connected, so you can simultaneously charge your laptop, phone, tablet, and wireless earbuds"
Apple's official 20W charger costs $20 and provides a single USB-C port. Ugreen is selling a 65W Nexode charger with four ports (including three USB-C) for $23 after a 44 percent Amazon discount. The 65W output can charge a MacBook Air to 51 percent in 30 minutes and can handle power-hungry devices like the MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, or a Steam Deck. The charger intelligently distributes power across its four ports to charge multiple devices simultaneously. GaN (gallium nitride) enables smaller, cooler, and more efficient chargers that operate safer. Built-in overheating prevention and overcurrent protection proactively monitor power flow and heat.
