The only problem I have with this is that USB-C PD can only go to 240w, which is fine for most laptops but my current gaming laptop has a 240w power brick and it only has a 3060 in it. The 3080 and 3090 variants had 300w+ bricks IIRC.
I don't live in India, but I hope gaming laptops get some sort of exception if their power draw can exceed the specification limits.
To be honest: a laptop that requires 240W of power is really not a portable laptop anymore, is it?
The battery wouldn’t last even half an hour, and that would be with the maximum 100Wh you can take on an airplane.
Still considered a laptop, they have low power modes for unplugged use.
I can imagine you can do dual inputs? So technically 480w?
I don't think that you would team them, but add a barrel jack for the big charger.
