minus-squareDave@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·16 hours ago my thinkpad lappy has a 230w power supply. can usb-c do that? The latest USB-C Power Delivery Standard should do 240w, but not all USB-C ports are rated for it.

The only laptop I know that supports it is the Framework 16, and it requires an extra purchase of a $150 charger.
