> Most things "just work", which you only appreciate after working with other linux laptops. For example, I can seamlessly plug this laptop in place of my work macbook with just one usb-c cable. I think any laptop sold in the last 4 or 5 years or so is plugged and charged with an usb-c cable and can be docked that way.

you'd think so, but my two year old msi delta 15 gaming laptop can't. it has a 240w barrel plug and two usb-c ports. one usb-c port can be used for displayport, neither for charging.

  Arguably it needs that 240W barrel plug. My current business class laptop also has one of those barrel plugs.

  Yeah. That’s over the power limit that USB-C can deliver. We have some Dell 17.3 inch laptops with discrete GPU’s that are like that.

Any of the super-thin ones, sure. But there are portable workstations and gaming rigs still hench enough to need a floor wart.
