| The Ugreen Nexode Air Slim 100W is now available in the UK for £59.99 |
The ultra-slim GaN charger that promises desktop-class power without the bulk is finally available to British buyers, but it commands a premium over the standard model.
If you have ever struggled to plug a bulky power brick into a socket hidden behind a sofa or a wardrobe, Ugreen might just have the solution for you. Following a successful launch in the United States back in July, the accessory maker has officially brought its Nexode Air Slim 100W charger to the UK market.
The standout feature of this device is, as the name suggests, its form factor. Unlike the traditional blocky chargers that dominate the market, the Nexode Air Slim features a card-like profile. This ultra-thin design is not just for aesthetics; it serves a practical purpose, allowing the charger to slide easily into sockets located in tight spaces, such as behind furniture or in narrow wall gaps where standard bricks would simply protrude too far. It also promises to take up significantly less room in a backpack or carry-on than a standard 100W adapter.
Pricing and Availability
British consumers can now purchase the Nexode Air Slim 100W exclusively through Amazon UK. The device is retailing for £59.99. While that price point places it firmly in the premium accessory category, it represents a £20 increase over the standard Ugreen Nexode Air 100W. Potential buyers should note that the premium isn't just for the slimmer chassis; the Slim model offers a significant upgrade in functionality.

Power and Performance
The standard Nexode Air 100W is a single-port device, meaning you can only charge one gadget at a time. The new Slim model, however, addresses a major pain point for modern users by incorporating three ports: two USB-C and one USB-A.
According to Ugreen’s specifications, each USB-C port is capable of delivering the full 100W output when charging a single device, which is enough to power up a 16-inch MacBook Pro at full speed. The USB-A port, meanwhile, tops out at 22.5W, making it suitable for older accessories or smartphones.
The real advantage of the multi-port setup lies in power distribution. Even when charging two or three devices simultaneously, one of the USB-C ports can still supply between 60W and 80W. This intelligent allocation ensures that users can charge a power-hungry laptop alongside a phone or earbuds without the laptop’s charging speed dropping off a cliff.
Efficiency and Technology
Under the hood, the Nexode Air Slim utilizes Ugreen's new "GaNInfinity Tech." Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology has become the standard for high-quality chargers because it generates less heat and allows for smaller components. Ugreen claims that this specific implementation delivers a conversion efficiency of up to 93%.
For context, in our review of the smaller 65W variant of this charger, we measured efficiency up to 87.5%. The higher rating on the 100W model suggests it is a highly efficient performer, wasting less energy as heat.
The device also rounds things out with multiple charging protections to safeguard your expensive electronics against over-current and overheating, as well as foldable prongs. The collapsible plug design prevents the charger from snagging on other items in your bag, reinforcing its status as a travel-friendly accessory.
While the £59.99 price tag is higher than some competitors, the combination of a ultra-slim form factor, three ports, and high-wattage output makes the Nexode Air Slim 100W a compelling option for frequent travelers and those with cluttered workspaces.
