Simultaneous charging over multiple USB-C ports
Esteemed Dell!
It would be very nice if your laptops could aggregate power over multiple USB-C ports when the power supply is any device supporting USB Power Delivery 3.0, not only Dell devices like the WD19DCS docking station that uses proprietary extensions.
We have small GaN chargers available these days, like WOTOBEUS 5-Ports 240W charger, OTAO 4-Port PD 100W, or UGREEN 200W USB C Desktop Charger. They are smaller than standard Dell power adapters and can be used independently to change other devices, which is of special advantage for travelers.
In my case, I can't run my Precision 7560 at full speed with power supplied over two USB-C cables certified for 100W power delivery from a single charging device capable of supplying 200W, even though that's supposed to work with WD19DCS.

Your OEM Dell charger should be able to handle your machines specifications. USB-C is limited in power delivery, checking my Precision 5540 the USB ports are all 15W max

I have a same problem too!
I frequently run between office and my home, and the dell power adapter that came with my Dell Precision 7560 added more weight to my backpack.
If I could leave the adapter at home and use the desktop charger capable of outputting 100w at each USB-C port to power up the machine would save my day too! Since the adapter is rated at 180w for its power supply.
Thanks!
