Anker vs UGREEN 100W charger

Buy Anker Prime 100W (A2688) when you want a published dual/triple watt table, a smaller brick (1.7 × 1.1 × 2.7 in), and full 100W on either USB-C alone. Buy UGREEN Nexode 100W 4-port (SKU 40737) when you want three USB-C ports plus USB-A (C1/C2 up to 100W each; C3 and USB-A 22.5W Max) at the lower verified brand-store cart. Both are 100W GaN USB-C PD — same shopping class as our 100W hub. Pair with an e-marked 5A cable.
