The USB-C PD (Power Delivery) Revolution

USB-C PD is the best remedy against cable tangle, cable clutter and a hodgepodge of power adapters. Everything is unified and simplified.






My 2005 guidelines for equipment purchases: it must be able to charge at home and in the car. At that time, my Canon camera still had 4 NiMh AA cells, so a charger had to be able to work both at home and in the car. For each new notebook, a car adapter was purchased in addition to the power adapter that came with the notebook. Over the years there were notebooks from ESCOM, GERICOM, Acer, Lenovo, Medion and ASUS and accordingly a hodgepodge of power supplies.

ASUS changed the connector format in 2020, so my old ASUS power supplies were no longer usable. Sure, a new ASUS power adapter was included. I also got with each power bank about 10 different plug adapters.

There was the old ASUS plug adapter everywhere, but not the new one. It took a month until a delivery from AliExpress came with cables that I could connect the new ASUS notebook to my 3 powerbanks.

A 20 watt powerbank is sufficient to run the notebook for as long as possible. It makes no sense to me to pay more than double for a 72 Wh 65 Watt powerbank.
