Your laptop comes with either 180W or 240W adapter.

Yet, Thunderbolt 4 is only up to 100W.

so you mean I can use it to charge the laptop ?

I doubt it.

No.  The manual specifies that the port is power share (i.e., you can use it charge other devices like phones, etc.) -- it's not a power delivery port.

On computers shipped with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060

• One Thunderbolt 4 USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port with DisplayPort alt mode
• One USB 3.2 Gen1 port with PowerShare
• Two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports

On computers shipped with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 and RTX 3050 Ti

• One USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port with Display Port
• One USB 3.2 Gen1 port with PowerShare
• Two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports

Sorry maybe I dont know what it means for me, can i know that if I use thunderbolt 4 cable connected to power bank to charge my dell g15 5511 laptop will it possible?
