There is a second stage, starting from April 1, 2026, which will apply to laptops and portable computers.

I'm with them on small devices using USB C, but all laptops is a pretty tall task. Can gaming laptops that need a high voltage even use USB-C? They already struggle with massive charging bricks and thick cables.

Not gaming (obviously!) but the2019 MacBook Pro has a 140W USB-C charger to a single port.

2019 is 96w charger. 140w is 2021 or later.

And isn't the 140w reserved for the new MagSafe port?
