USB C Wall Outlet With Enough Power for Macbook Pro?

[forrie]

There are many outlets that have USB C connections -- they use "power delivery" sparsely, but almost always it's only enough power to charge an iPhone. The Macbook requires (at least, I think) 90W.

Is anyone aware of a wall outlet that provides a USB C connection that will power a Macbook Pro, with the appropriate amount of watts? Or are we stuck with the Apple brick

Thanks.

Look at the size of the Apple brick, there are some out that are smaller ... so you’re not going to get a “traditional” wall outlet, something will have to “stick out”, and you can’t hide it in the wall due to heating/cooling... so my guess is the answer to your question is No ...
Have you tried googling for it?

Yeah, I tried Googling. I figured "by now" that someone would have created a dedicated outlet port for this (USB C, 90+W), but not yet.

I installed Lutron outlets, but their USB C "Power Delivery" ports are only good for mobile devices.

If you google usb-c chargers 100w you will find that there are a lot.

For instance this one, which is nearly as big as the 96W Apple charger!

PowerPort Atom PD 4

Super Power - Provides an enormous 100W of charging power - enough to charge 2 USB-C laptops and 2 smartphones at the same time. USB-C Output: 5V = 3A / 9V = 3A / 20V = 5A. USB-A Output 5V = 2.4A max per port. High-Speed Charging - Save up to 1 hour of charging time with USB-C Power Delivery and...

I'm referring to in-wall outlets. I would have thought that by now they would have one -- with a dedicated port. Perhaps it's not possible for USB C with this wattage and the bricks are necessary?

OK - sorry - my mistake!
