As much as I like to see standardized connectors. USB-C in particular PD is really not robust. I have multiple devices that stopped charging on PD due to broken connectors. They still charge reliably with an USB-A to USB-C cable even with quick charge. On my ThinkPad the socket is too short for most plugs, I wonder how that can happen. It will most probably be the first thing to break on the device too. I already have shaky display port connection over the connector. And now for power tools, I call this planned obsolescence...
- foxfluff 5y agoI have to agree. It seems ok for small & lightweight devices (ahem, phones..), but I would like something bigger and more rugged for larger devices. Another issue is I can't seem to find good cables. Most of the cables I have seem too big and bulky with respect to the receptacle, working as strong long levers.. I feel like I have to be extra careful around connected USB-C cables to avoid damage by knocking something. Weirdly enough the best USB-C cable I have yet is the charging cable that came with Sennheiser Momentum (3?). It's actually quite thin, flexible, and doesn't have a ton of bulk around the connector. I've used it regularly for charging my phone, headphones, and also for soldering.
