Can I charge my laptop via Thunderbolt port? The manual says nothing about it.

    @AlexRo upon checking the specification, the Thunderbolt port should support the PD charger with at least 65W.

    @AnhEZ28 is there a possibility that I can brake my laptop when trying to charge through that port?

    @AlexRo most likely not. Unless you use a bad-quality charger, this might harm the laptop.

    Yes, it does.

    I've tested it yesterday with an old MacBook charger at work which seemed to be around 97W ( I could be wrong).

    Aaand it went from 80% to 94% in about 30 mins while on standby (too slow)

    I've ordered the Xiaomi 120W charger as well to
