UGREEN Shows 500 W GaN Charger for up to 5 Laptops at Once, Thunderbolt 5 Docking Station Also Present

[AleksandarK]

UGREEN introduced new products at CES 2024 including a high-wattage charger, and a Thunderbolt 5 dock. The company revealed its Nexode 500 W desktop charger, which can power six devices (about five average laptops) simultaneously. Its highest-capacity port delivers 240 W through USB Power Delivery 3.1, enough to charge demanding devices including e-bikes. The charger uses GaN technology to achieve its power output while maintaining a desktop-friendly size.




UGREEN's Revodok Max 2131 docking station implements the new Thunderbolt 5 standard across four ports, each capable of 80 Gbps bidirectional data transfer. The dock supports 8K 60 Hz output to a single display or dual 4K displays at 144 Hz refresh rates. Pricing and availability for the new products were not announced at the show. The products are expected to launch later this year as Thunderbolt 5 devices become more widely available and power delivery standards iterate. Manufacturers race to implement new charging and connectivity standards, with USB Power Delivery pushing toward higher wattages and Thunderbolt 5 beginning to appear in premium devices.

That 500W charger can be useful for offices where there are multiple laptops that need to be powered at the same time. Hopefully wont be too expensive.

Hopefully AllThingsOnePlace reviews this. It will probably only manage 500w for a very limited time before overheating. Let's hope it can at least manage keeping the 240w port at full tilt without dying

Yeah, 500 W is no small amount of power and the other question is if it'll only be for 10-15 minutes or for the full charge cycle.
