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.
I’d be surprised if they followed the USB standards properly. I’ve had two kinds of these before, and they were sketchy at best, not offering the advertised data and power rates, nor working properly with custom firmware keyboards and KVMs.
