Does anyone prefer a barrel plug over USB-C?
I've owned many laptops, and the barrel plug on every one got loose over time. Sometimes slight, and power continued; but other times it was enough to require delicate jiggling to keep the power flowing; once or twice an accident was catastrophic, the plug and even the surrounding frame was damaged.
It's why I won't buy a Dell laptop, now that the other brands offer USB-C.
- saystupidthings 6y agoYou can draw more power on some laptops than usbc can offer
- znpy 6y agoThe Latitude 7390 has a thunderbolt port. I power the laptop through the usb-c/thunderbolt port when I am in the office via the thunderbolt docking station. Your argument is invalid.
- dungdang 6y agoyou won't buy the dell because other brands offer only low wattage usb-c, while dells also have fast-charge ports that go up to 230w. oof. i don't even want to argue with that logic. thank you sir for existing.
- julianz 6y agoThe Precisions can power from either the barrel plug or USB-C, I just plug in a C connector in the office and it's got power, ethernet and monitors. Tasty.
