    Hi USB-C users, any idea what the specifications are for USB-C charging with the XPS 15 9570? I've found no information in the manual, and I'm wondering if it's just trial-and-error at this point as to which chargers work (which defeats the purpose of the USB-PD standard).

    I've tried:
    • An 18W (9V @ 2A) USB-PD charger that I originally bought for iPhone fast charging: XPS shows a 'Connect a faster charger' error and doesn't charge
    • A Razer Core X supporting 100W (20V @ 5A) charging: XPS shows a 'Slow charging' warning, and the BIOS system info -> Battery stats page shows only 60W charging
    HP's Spectre x360 manual shows a comprehensive set of charging specifications, so is there a similar source for the XPS 15?

    HP example:
