Comment on My phone, iPad, and laptop finally all use the same USB-C charger. The galaxy is at peace.

USB PD now supports up to 230W so thats on the manufacturerer being lazy, or the design having elements that are a few years old, since PD recently got that update.

I’m guessing its a lenovo, 170W is one of their bigger bricks.

But the next laptop you have might use the same charger as your ebike, so there’s that.

The spec supports 240W, and there are lots of cables rated at that, but there are still no chargers on the market that can hit 240W.

Yup, I just bought a Framework and bought their 240w charger.

Granted I bought the 13 not the 16, so it can’t use all of it, but it exists!

  You’ll find that it’ll work just fine on 100W USB C unless you have a dGPU in which case it really wants the bigboy power brick.
  
  If it makes you feel better, soon there will be adapters from USB PD 3.1 to 230W Lenovo Square sooner or later. And sometimes, older thinkpads with the square and circle connectors have had little kits made to give them USB C charging. Its only a matter of time.
  
  And for what its worth, if it wasn’t gonna be C, Lenovo Square is a good one since I have tons of them knocking about.

    It has a GPU, but it’s helpful to know that I can look out for adaptors, thanks.
    
    I like to be able to have a charger set up in more than one room than can be shared instead of moving chargers around all the time.
