  • I am after a USB C charger for my work laptop so I can tidy up my WFH setup by powering my UBS hub.

    Dell website lists a 65W USB C adapter that is compatible with my model.

    Can I just grab any reputable 65W USB C charger?

    There’s a label on the bottom that says 19.5V / 3.34A in case that makes a difference.

  • Anything USB C will be compatible, although if it's under 65W it may just make it run out of battery more slowly, I'd just grab whatever Anker are selling that does 65W. A very brief bit of research makes it seem that all USB C cables can handle 60W but some can do 100W which I guess you'll want.

  • What's your official laptop power supply, is that the 19.5V/3.34A (i.e. 65W)? Dells (and probably other laptops) can be antsy if the charger is underpowered and may throttle the processor.

    What will the USB-C one be doing, if anything, apart from powering your laptop?

    I'd normally go Anker, Ugreen seem decent and I assume that Amazon Basics won't kill you. If it's got multiple sockets then check that one can output the full power (or as much power as you need).
