The specs are often buried in the description on places like Amazon where you get this junk. I don't think the Apple ones are trouble free either. They don't even list what wattage the USB C power port on their dongles takes on the store page [0]. Just a completely separate support page for some reason [1].

- Gigachad 5y agoMy guess is as part of the Apple "Just works" philosophy, they just make sure the wattage is high enough to power everything they list on the compatible section and then they can exclude the spec since the user need not ever worry about it.
- goosedragons 5y agoThey don't actually. The 15"/16" MBP are listed as compatible but need 87/97W at full tilt but the most the VGA adapter will do is 60W. They do have that on the separate support page but not on the store page.
