Just because something has been around for a while doesn’t mean it’s bad or not worth buying. I’ve bought a few products over the years, and here are a few older tech items I think are well worth a look.
If you’re chasing the latest and greatest, then this probably ain’t for you. Some of this stuff is old, old. Some of it may have been released a while back, and you might have missed it. Not everything is particularly special, just some things I own and I like.
Ugreen Nexode 65W GaN charger
About a year ago, I left my favorite multi-port charger in a coffee shop, plugged into a power outlet. I cursed myself and decided I needed a better one, which is where I found the Ugreen Nexode 65W GaN charger. It’s super compact, maybe it’s a little garish in gray-silver, but it’s most importantly powerful enough to charge my Macbook, Pixel, and any other accessories I need because there is room for 3 USB-C ports plus a USB-A cable.
I paid around $40 to replace my old charger, but price drops put it around $25, you’re getting a 4-port power brick that is solid and reliable. It doesn’t get super hot as some chargers do, and I’ve used it all over the world now without a problem. It’s an essential part of my EDC.
