Which one charges a laptop?

Product B. Its USB-C1 port delivers up to 100W with PPS, enough for most USB-C laptops. Product A lists only 4A total current and no wattage, so it is not a laptop charger.

Which is better for an iPhone?

Product A has a built-in Lightning end, so it works without a separate cable. Product B needs a USB-C to Lightning cable, which is not included.

Is the Ugreen worth the extra $12.80?

Only if you need 100W and multiple ports. For charging a phone or earbuds, Product A at $7.19 does the job for far less.

Product A publishes durability figures: 20,000+ bends and 10,000+ insertion cycles. Ugreen does not state cable bend or insertion ratings for this unit.

Can Product B charge several devices at full speed?

No. The 100W is shared: USB-C1 gets 100W max, USB-C2 30W max and USB-A 22.5W max, and total output is capped at 100W.

Does Product A fast charge?

It depends on the device and charger. The 4A rating is shared across the cable, and no per-port wattage is listed, so expect standard charging rather than laptop-class speed.

Retractable 3-in-1 Charging Cable vs Ugreen Nexode 100W Retractable USB-C Cable

These are not the same kind of product. Product A is a $7.19 retractable 3-in-1 cable with Lightning, Micro USB and USB-C ends, for charging phones and small devices. Product B is a $19.99 Ugreen Nexode 100W desktop charger with four ports and a 2 m USB-C cable, for powering a laptop and several devices at once. Buy A if you want one cheap cable for mixed connectors; buy B if you need real wattage and multiple ports.

Today the Retractable 3-in-1 Charging Cable costs $12.80 less at its best price.
