  • It would be absolutely amazing if we had everything charging over USB C / thunderbolt for all but the beefy laptops.

    240W is enough to handle everything but gaming / workstation rigs. I would love to the governments step in. Imagine if its just normal for any random outlet or desk to always have a 240W USBC charger built into

    And FYI I am not even someone who would be a great recipient of this because I usually have top level gaming laptops that have way more power draw. But I would still want everyone else to benefit.


  • Right, what gives apple the advantage is they have to put all their eggs in a basket every time. But in the windows ecosystem no one has a huge motivation to jump, and as good as apples M chips are, they arent as good as the media hypes them up to be, you can get by perfectly fine on intel or and chips, we have seen time and time again that things like user familiarity, application library and much more simple things are the main drivers of user choice.

    IMO the only way qualcomm can really make headway is if they decide to spend several years losing money on these chips to try to get them a kick start. Give a real major financial motivation for people to put up with them until they get a solid place in the market and developers optimize around the platform.

    Just to put things in perspective even MS still cant even sort out and unify their own products, think office where some products like onenote have 2 different versions running on PCs plus separate mobile versions. Now extrapolate that out to all the vendors of various software.
