I can put one 100W USB-C PD charger and cable in my bag and charge:
- Macbook Pro (work)
- Macbook Air (personal)
- Friend's PC laptop
- Friend's Android phone
- iPad
- Nintendo Switch
- Steam Deck
- Panic Playdate
- Sony Headphones
- Amazon Kindle
- Anker battery pack
- Fuji Camera
I think that's pretty great. Obviously these things aren't all in my travel bag at the same time, but my travel charging setup will work with any combination of them, from all of these different manufacturers, at up to 100W!
Sadly I do need to carry a USB-C to Lightning cable for my iPhone and AirPods, but it seems like even those final dominos may fall in the next year or two.
I agree that there are definitely shortcomings in how complex things get when dealing with Thunderbolt, Docks, and the naming of different versions, but for charging things are pretty great right now as long as you get chargers and cables that are rated for USB-C PD.
