Going on a trip today means carrying around an array of electronic devices: smartphone, laptop, tablet, connected watch, wireless headphones… A technological arsenal that poses a logistical question when packing: how to recharge all this equipment, and above all, with which charger? The situation is further complicated by the diversity of electrical outlet formats across the world, transforming a simple recharge into a real obstacle course.
If the classic socket adapter is a solution, it does not solve the problem of the number of devices to plug in. Faced with this challenge, a new generation of compact and versatile chargers is emerging. Taking advantage of the widespread use of USB-C, these accessories are designed to become the single charging point of the digital ecosystem of the modern traveler, whether in the United States, Japan or the United Kingdom.
Our opinion on the Ugreen Nexode Pro 65Â W
Specifically designed for this use, the Ugreen Nexode Pro 65Â W presents itself as a travel charger and not as a simple adapter. It delivers 65W of power through its main USB-C port, which is more than enough to power most newer laptops, including a MacBook. With its two USB-C ports and its USB-A port, it allows you to charge up to three devices simultaneously. And at the end of our tests, the performance is there.
Its design is also a major asset: with a thickness of only 1.5 cm and a weight of 150 g, it fits easily into any bag. Foldable pins and interchangeable tips supplied (Europe, United Kingdom, United States, Australia…) confirm its vocation as a universal traveling companion.
However, this specialization has its limits. Unlike traditional adapters, the Nexode Pro is without mains socket (AC). It is therefore impossible to plug in devices that do not charge via a USB port, such as a hair dryer or an electric razor. This is an important point to consider before purchasing, as it exclusively serves the digital ecosystem.
Another point of vigilance raised during our tests: this adapter tends to heat up. We measured a temperature of up to 66°C when used at full power. This aspect should be noted, even if protection against overvoltages is provided here.
Despite these two (small) reservations, the Ugreen Nexode Pro 65Â W stands out as an essential reference for tech-savvy travelers. By cleverly combining power, compactness and international compatibility for USB devices, it perfectly delivers on the promise of a single charger for all gadgets. If you want to travel light, without sacrificing the ability to quickly charge your computer, smartphone and accessories, it represents a successful and particularly effective solution.
