Should I buy the Anker 735 charger or UGREEN Nexode 100W?

For most people—especially if you need to charge a laptop or multiple devices at once—the UGREEN Nexode 100W is the better buy.

The primary difference comes down to power output and value. The UGREEN Nexode 100W delivers significantly more power than the Anker 735 (which maxes out at 65W). This means the UGREEN can easily handle power-hungry laptops at full speed while still having juice left over for your phone or tablet. In contrast, the Anker 735 will charge larger laptops slowly or struggle to charge a laptop and a phone simultaneously.

Furthermore, recent comparisons highlight that UGREEN's Nexode GaN chargers generally offer 90–95% of Anker's performance for 15–30% less money, while actually delivering better thermal efficiency (meaning they manage heat better when pushed to their limits).

Choose the UGREEN Nexode 100W if:

• You need to charge a demanding laptop (like a MacBook Pro or Framework).
• You want to fast-charge multiple devices simultaneously.
• You want the best price-to-performance ratio.

Choose the Anker 735 if:

• You primarily only charge a phone, tablet, or a very lightweight laptop (like a MacBook Air).
• You prioritize having the absolute smallest, lightest charger possible for travel.
