It seems that USB-C for _Lenovo_ laptop power ports seems to be incredibly flaky. I have 2 year-old HP Spectre x360 and a new Framework and I've had no problems with charging either of them from a number of different USB-C cables, wall adapters, and even a power delivery monitor (Dell U2520D).

My wife's Lenovo ultrabook (although an AMD one) has USB-C charging and we haven't noticed any problem for about 4 years now. Her phone phone is also USB-C. No visible problems there, too.

I thought so too, that this may be Lenovo-specific. But the Lenovo technician claimed: "this is not Lenovo-specific, it happens with other laptops too". I just naively took his word. Good to know that it works reliably with other vendors.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a problem with laptop USB-C chargers. It may happen with other laptops but it’s hard to estimate how big of a problem it is.
