    I’m imaginining some kind of monstrosity of a gaming laptop with a power cable that looks like a hydra splitting into three or four USB-C connectors, and it’s gloriously silly.

    Maybe it’s time for a new thing similar to USB 3.0 micro B, with two USB-C connectors next to each other on the same plug.

      Pretty much, they magnet together though so you can split them apart and use them as normal with other devices.

      It would make since to say something like usb-c is required for up to x volts. Then x-y volts require this other kind of charger.

      I mean it’s totally valid if the required technology literally can’t handle certain applications that there needs to a level 2, level 3, and onward option.
