For a long time, my Apple MacBook Pro 140W USB-C charger was my favorite charger.Having a charger that could push out 140W of power was useful, even if my MacBook was the only thing I had at the time that could take advantage of that. 

Despite the bulk, the weight, and the fact that it only had a single USB-C port, I took that charger with me everywhere. Well, not the same one; I accidentally left the original at a hotel in Scotland, prompting me to look for a replacement.

In my search, I quickly realized that the power adapters on the market today have significantly evolved, making a 140W unit with a single USB-C port somewhat old-fashioned. You can now get multi-port power adapters that are smaller, run cooler, and can still output the full 140W that a MacBook Pro needs to charge at the fastest rate. 

One such adapter being theUgreen Nexode Pro 160W 4-port fast charger .
