Do I understand correctly that this is capable of charging over USB-C, and includes a USB-C power supply, but the default charging cable is USB-C -> DC barrel jack?
So you can charge over USB-C, but only if you buy a C-to-C cable and tie up the single USB-C port.
- kelnos 5y agoI think it's good that they have the barrel-jack option for people who want to use the USB-C port for something other than charging, but I would just prefer they ditch two of (or even all three) USB-A ports and have 3 or 4 USB-C ports instead.
- hakfoo 5y agoMaybe they figure people would rather use the C port for something else? I feel like a barrel jack may be more resilient, if you're plugging it in twice a day.
- ezfe 5y agoI've got a USB-charging laptop I plug in every day for over a year and the cable still clicks in satisfyingly, fwiw
- Anunayj 5y agoYup, at the same time it allows people to use USB-C for charging, which might easily be the case with some of those usb-c hubs that also provide charge to the device.
