Charger for Latitude 5401 (USB-C?)
Dear Comunnity,
I have a Dell Latitude 5401 laptop, and I have the original 130W charger (19.5V 6.7A).
The charger is huge and heavy.
I saw that there are USB-C chargers available. Will USB-C charger charge faster or slower? Ot the same?
Which one should I choose for my model?
The ones I found have 65W (mine has 130W). I guess this may be due to the solution related to the USB port.
Can you advise me?

If you have the Thunderbolt option, it should accept power -- however, you will see much slower charging times, and also note that the system won't run at full speed since it needs 130W, which Thunderbolt on a system of this age cannot accept.
If you have the USB-C option (no Thunderbolt), the system may or may not charge at all -- there's no note about power delivery support for that port on this model.
