Anyway, why do they still ship these bricks? I’ve got a 65W GaN that works just as well, and is the size of a phone adapter. Even has extra type C and type A ports, though the output to extra ones depends on output to main.
And they cost about the same too.
Carrying around a brick with one permanently attached cable and one more IEC cable just to power a basic office laptop feels stupid.
Yeah they make no sense for most devices. For high end gaming laptops I can understand it though - My laptop has a 300W brick that is as slim as I would bet they could get it at the time.

No idea. I assume it’s because they have them already or they are cheaper to manufacture than the more compact GaN power supplies.

Yep, still standard with business laptops and game consoles. Although most laptops are usb-c now, so they don’t really need it.
