EU rules on common chargers apply to laptops from today. It means that all new laptops sold in the European Union must now support USB-C charging.

In December 2024, the rules came into force for mobile phones, tablets, digital cameras, headphones, videogame consoles, and portable speakers.

Laptop manufacturers were given a longer lead in time to allow for redesign and transition to the common charging system.

They sell more than you'd expect, tons of companies do them.

The trade offs are high price and low battery, comparitavely.

On the plus side, I have a easily movable PC that will run new games at ultra settings and it takes about 20s to fully pack up.
