16X Aurora AC16251, charges slowly with usb c
Anyone with this laptop was able to charge through the power delivery port instead of the thunderbolt 4 port? If so, what power adapter did you use.

Not at full speed, no -- the best you'll get is 90W through the Thunderbolt port. The system won't charge at full speed as a result - neither will it run at full speed with a 90W adapter.

The online 16X Aurora AC16251 Owner's Manual page 10 shows that you should be charging with the supplied AC power adapter plugged into #6 DC in power adapter port.
Are you saying that your 16X Aurora AC16251 did NOT ship with an AC power adapter designed for #6 DC in power adapter port?

Yes, it is the ac16251 that came with the 280w ac power adapter. However, I am trying to find a lighter alternative that I can charge without the brick. Currently I can charge through the tb4 port but it shows that it charges slowly. Is there anyway for this laptop to charge through the power delivery port? Thank

Theres a USB 3.2 Gen 2 (Type-C) port with Power Delivery, does this port not charge the laptop?
