New USB-C Type 2.1 standard offers up to 240 W power delivery
- samstave 5y agoInteresting. Personally, I think that ALL powering mechanism should be standardized on laptops. I would desire that I plug ANY laptop into any plug. I have five laptops within 10 feet of me in my home right now: A dell, and HP, a MB Pro, (2) S76 Gazelles. All have different power supplies, which is lame. I used to typically have multiple chargers at home as well: one in the living room, office and bedroom and one in my backpack. So I didnt have to carry a charger with my everywhere... some of these chargers cost me $90! (Thats what S76 cost. Also, I think that every power block on a laptop charger should also have a USB port. I have had some chargers in the past that had a USB port on them - and I think that Apple is /r/assholeDesign with all of their charging products (aside from the mag-safe connector, which is my favorite connector type... chargers and usb cables are such wasteful products. Horrible for the environment, poorly designed, toxic in chemicals etc... we should have a single charging standard for all laptops regardless of brand.
