That's with 2 connectors right? I have a Dell Precision 3760 and the one connector charging mode is limited to around 90W. With two connectors working in tandem (they snap together), it's 180W. The connectors never get remotely warm .. in fact under max charge rate they're consistently cool to touch, so I've always thought that it could probably be increased a little bit with no negative consequences.

Single connector, the 3.1 spec goes up to 5A at 48V. You need new cables with support for the higher voltages, but your "multiple plugs for more power" laptop is exactly the sort of device it's designed for. It was announced earlier this year, so not in wide use yet.

  I’ve not seen any manufacturer even announce they were going to make a supported cable yet, let alone seen one that does. I might’ve missed it though. This will only make the hell of USB-C cabling worse imho.

    The USB Implementers Forum announced a new set of cable markings for USB 4 certified cables that will combine information on the maximum supported data rate and maximum power delivery for a given cable.

    Currently I think there aren't any, and the MBP will only get its full 140W capacity using the magsafe cable.
