Charging XPS 13 DE with USB-C charger
The XPS 13 is listed as having support for charging over the USB-C port, but I'd like to get some more details.
If it indeed works, it will probably be the *only* way I charge my laptop, as it would be one of a few USB-C gadgets that I'd all be able to charge off a single charger.
What is the full wattage that can be taken advantage of by the USB-C port? Would it charge as fast as the regular power brick, or slower? What specs in a USB-C power brick should I look for? Would it be compatible with the USB-C power brick Apple includes with their 12" MacBook?
Any info would be helpful, thank you.

Does anyone, either private or on the Dell team, have any answers for this? Thank you.

I have the Dell XPS 13 9350 and I use a Innergie PowerGear USB-C 45 45W Laptop charger as my secondary charger.
The charger that comes with the XPS 13 is 19.5V / 2.31A (45W) and this USB-C charger can negotiate up to 20V / 2.25A (also 45W).
The USB-C charger seems to charge my laptop just fine. The laptop doesn't complain about the charger being too weak. I'll see if I can pull up the negotiated voltage in settings somewhere and ensure that it charges at 20V / 2.25A.

Thanks for the suggestion. I get an iVoler PDSmart charger capable of 75W that has an USB-C port with 5V/9V/15V/20V DC and 3A. However, it doesn't charge my XPS13...and that is unexplainable as it should work. Have you any suggestion?
