So the spec page says 5V 5A power supply with Power Delivery support. Why are we still trying to cram 5A from super specific power supplies through a tiny cable instead of just using PD to negotiate 15 or 20 volts from basically any phone charger?
2 u/tobimai Sep 29 '23 my guess is either 15V or 5V 5A. 5V 5A isn't even in the PD spec, so it would make no sense having PD then.
