I’ve tested countless USB-C chargers this year, and while there are plenty of great options, some still have a compromise or two. With a tangled mess of protocols and power levels, finding a charger that powers everything optimally is still harder than it should be. Trying to match my Pixel 9 Pro XL’s finicky 37W PPS requirements, or my laptop-grade plug dropping power the moment I want to recharge my mouse, are just two of my latest gripes.
In my long search to bypass these constant pet peeves, I’ve come across another fine entry to consider for your desk — UGREEN’s mammoth new Nexode 6-port 500W. You read that right, this thing packs as much power as a washing machine, surely far more than almost anyone realistically needs for everyday charging?
