The Nexode 100W charging station features three USB ports — two USB-C and one USB-A — that share between them 100W of output power. This means owners can charge a wide range of devices, from the latest MacBook Pro to an Apple Watch, AirPods, an iPad, or anything that has a USB port.
And this device is no slouch, as it’s capable of charging the new Apple M2 MacBook Pro from zero to 50% in just 30 minutes.
The magnetic charging plate — which is good with any iPhone, from the iPhone 12 to the very latest iPhone 15, or an Android device that has wireless charging — can be angled up to 65°, so users can choose the perfect viewing angle for the smartphone. And thanks to strong magnets, the iPhone can rotate 360° to conveniently access videos and conferences while charging, all without it slipping off.
