  • 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.

  • 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).

  • is that the 19.5V/3.34A

    Yes I think so, but will check.

    what will the USB-C one be doing

    As in the charger? It will go into a USB C hub that has my screen and keyboard and plugs into the thunderbolt port on the laptop.

    Ultimately I could just use the BT on the keyboard and plug in two cables. But I'd rather have one cable to insert and make it a bit neater. Also my WFH pattern is very haphazard right now with me in the office a lot more than home.
