Inspiron 14 5440 USB Charging
Inspiron 14 5440
Just received my new Inspiron 14 5440 and I have to say I'm impressed with the machine. However I can't find a clear answer to whether or not I can use a 65W Dell USB C charger to power the laptop. It comes with a barrel type charger but I also have a Dell USB charger, from one of my other machines. Can this be used to power the laptop via the USB C Port?
Many thanks

If the system has the USB-C port, it will charge over USB-C (there is a 5440 without the USB-C port that cannot).

It depends on the CPU you have. From the manual:

@ejn63 Thanks, mine does but the manual says Power Sharing only, I asked
in support chat and they said it would be ok to power the laptop from the USB port.

You're absolutely right I have 1334U version which is Data only. Which is NOT the advice I got from Dell Support. They told me it supported USB Power using a Dell Charger.
Again , Thanks for responding.
