How they stack up

Anker Prime Charger, 100W 3-Port GaN USB C Charger Block, Fast Charging wall Cha

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, 4-Port Fast Type-C Charger Compatible

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.
