Ugreen’s new pocket charger is just 0.57 inches (12 mm) thick, yet now pushes up to 65W and charges three devices at once. That is the core pitch behind the Ugreen Nexode Air Slim 65W, a US launch that turns the company’s thin 45W wall adapter into a more laptop-friendly travel charger.
The new model has launched in the US and is priced at $49.99 on Amazon, according to Notebookcheck. That puts it $10 above the 45W Nexode Air Slim before discounts, while adding more wattage and two extra ports.
Ugreen launches Nexode Air Slim 65W pocket charger in the US
The Nexode Air Slim 65W expands Ugreen’s flat charger lineup beyond the 45W model Notebookcheck reviewed after its May launch. The design target is the same: a thin, pocketable charger that can fit into awkward outlets behind furniture where bulkier adapters struggle.
The upgrade is not subtle. Ugreen has raised maximum output from 45W to 65W, added a second USB-C port, and added one USB-A port. That means the charger can now handle up to three devices at the same time.
The thinness remains the hook. Ugreen says the 65W version is still only 0.57 inches (12 mm) thick and includes foldable prongs, which makes it easier to carry in a pocket or laptop bag.
Ugreen says the charger can take a MacBook Air to 34% in 30 minutes or an iPhone 17 Pro Max to 70%.
That claim makes the product more than a phone charger. At 65W, the Nexode Air Slim moves into the range many users expect from a compact laptop adapter, while keeping the flat form factor of the lower-power model.

The Ugreen launch sits in the same buyer mindset: smaller gear, fewer compromises, and a lot of scrutiny on whether the specs justify the pocket-friendly pitch.
65W output and extra ports make the Nexode Air Slim more laptop-friendly
The practical change is power headroom. A 65W ceiling gives the new charger more room for compact laptops, tablets, phones, and mixed travel setups than the earlier 45W version.
The port layout is the bigger everyday shift. The 45W model was built around a slimmer, simpler charging setup; the 65W model adds two extra outputs, giving users a way to charge a laptop, phone, and accessory from one wall outlet.
That does not mean every device gets full speed all the time. When all three ports are in use, Notebookcheck says the primary USB-C port tops out at 45W, while the second USB-C and USB-A ports share the remaining 15W.
| Feature | Nexode Air Slim 45W | Nexode Air Slim 65W |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum output | 45W | 65W |
| Ports | Fewer ports than new model | 2x USB-C + 1x USB-A |
| Multi-device charging | More limited | Up to three devices |
| US price before discounts | $10 less than 65W model | $49.99 |
| Thickness | Flat, pocket-friendly design | 0.57 inches (12 mm) |
MLXIO analysis: the power split matters more than the peak number. A single-device session can use the charger’s headline 65W capability, but a three-device setup turns it into a prioritization tool: one main device gets most of the output, while two smaller devices share the rest.
Real-world charging will also depend on device compatibility and cable support. Ugreen’s figures give a useful ceiling, but they do not replace hands-on testing across laptops, phones, tablets, and mixed charging loads.
Ugreen prices the 65W Slim charger as a modest step-up from the 45W model
At $49.99 in the US, the Nexode Air Slim 65W costs $10 more than the 45W model before discounts. That is the value argument Ugreen is making: more wattage, more ports, and the same ultra-thin concept for a relatively small step up.
The China price adds a sharper contrast. Notebookcheck reports the charger carries a $19 asking price in China, far below the US Amazon listing.
That spread will matter to buyers who track charger pricing closely. Still, the US comparison that matters most inside Ugreen’s own lineup is the 45W model: the 65W version asks for a modest premium and gives users more flexibility.
Pricing pressure will come from checkout reality. Coupons, launch discounts, or Amazon promotions could narrow the gap further, but the supplied source only confirms the listed $49.99 US price and the broader comparison with the 45W version.
The outline comparison to brands such as Anker and Baseus is harder to judge from the available source material. Notebookcheck does not provide a direct rival-by-rival benchmark here, so buyers comparing across brands still need to check port count, power split, dimensions, and discounted price side by side.
Availability, discounts, and real-world charging performance are the next questions
US buyers can purchase the Ugreen Nexode Air Slim 65W through Amazon, per Notebookcheck. The immediate question is whether the listed price holds, drops through coupons, or varies as inventory moves through the US retail channel.
The bigger performance questions need testing. Ugreen says the charger uses its latest GaNInfinity tech with up to 93% power conversion efficiency, slightly below the 95.4% peak Notebookcheck measured on the 45W model.
Safety is also part of the spec sheet. The charger includes nine built-in safety protections, covering overvoltage, overcurrent, surges, and more.
MLXIO analysis: the 65W model looks stronger than the 45W version on paper if the buyer needs multi-device charging. If the use case is only one phone or one lightweight device, the cheaper 45W model may still be enough.
The next test is sustained behavior: heat, stable output, port switching, and whether the slim shell stays practical in crowded outlets. Until independent testing lands, the Nexode Air Slim 65W is best read as a promising spec upgrade — not yet a proven replacement for every compact laptop charger in a travel bag.
Key Takeaways
- The 65W upgrade makes Ugreen’s slim charger more practical for laptop users, not just phones and tablets.
- Adding three-device charging gives travelers a compact alternative to carrying multiple adapters.
- At $49.99, the new model costs $10 more than the 45W version while offering higher output and extra ports.
