>> - They supply you with a low spec charging cable, indistinguishable from a high spec one >What do you mean? My laptop came with an 87W charger and a cable that works fine with it. The supplied USB-C cable only supports USB-2 data speeds (480Mbps). If you want to achieve USB-3 or 3.1 speeds (either 5Gbps or 10 Gbps), while still having the full 5A charging current supported by the 87W charger, you need to buy this $12.99 cable from monoprice: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=24285 https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=24285 We're talking a laptop which can be configured between $2500 and $4100 and you need to go buy a better cable for it. I'm sorry but this is not the Apple I used to love.
