The Nexode GaN 65W USB C Charger (Model #90906), also known as the UGREEN 7-in-1 DigiNest Cube Charger Station, promises a comprehensive charging solution. With seven ports – two USB-C, two USB-A, and three AC outlets – it aims to consolidate your charging needs into one compact device. But does it deliver on its ambitious claims? After weeks of rigorous testing, I’m ready to share my findings.

The DigiNest Cube design is undeniably appealing. Its compact size belies its surprising capacity. The individual power switches for each AC outlet are a thoughtful addition, allowing for granular control and energy saving. The inclusion of both USB-A and USB-C ports caters to a wide range of devices. The 1.8m extension cord is also incredibly practical.

The GaN technology is a key selling point, promising faster charging speeds. UGREEN claims a full charge for a 13″ MacBook Air 2022 in under 1.5 hours – a bold claim that I put to the test (more on that in the performance section).

My testing involved charging a variety of devices simultaneously: a 13″ MacBook Air, an iPhone 14 Pro, an iPad mini, and a pair of wireless earbuds. The charger handled the load without issue. While the MacBook Air charging time wasn’t quite the advertised 1.5 hours, it was significantly faster than with my previous charger. The other devices also charged at optimal speeds. The GaN technology is demonstrably effective. Heat generation was minimal, even under heavy load, which is impressive.

The AC outlets also performed well, easily handling the power demands of multiple devices. I tested it with a laptop, a lamp, and a small fan without any issues. The extension cord proved extremely useful, allowing for flexible placement.

Pros

• Compact and space-saving design
• Fast charging speeds thanks to GaN technology
• Multiple ports (2 USB-C, 2 USB-A, 3 AC)
• Individual power switches for AC outlets
• Long extension cord
• Minimal heat generation

Cons

• MacBook Air charging time slightly slower than advertised
• Could be slightly more expensive than some competitors

The Nexode GaN 65W USB C Charger (Model #90906) is a highly capable and versatile charging solution. While the advertised charging time for the MacBook Air wasn’t perfectly matched in my testing, the overall charging speeds are excellent. The multiple ports, individual switches, and compact design make it a practical and convenient choice for anyone needing a multi-device charging station. I highly recommend it for home or office use.
