    16 Amps at 20V … what type of cables will they use? USB-C cables won’t allow this much current.

          I hypothesize that they’re using three or four USB PD, 20V 5A circuits in parallel. This would keep the hardware cheap.

          But, a single USB cable could only handle two circuits. I’m with you. I wonder what cables they’ll use.
