you'd think so, but my two year old msi delta 15 gaming laptop can't.

it has a 240w barrel plug and two usb-c ports. one usb-c port can be used for displayport, neither for charging.

Yeah. That’s over the power limit that USB-C can deliver. We have some Dell 17.3 inch laptops with discrete GPU’s that are like that.

Arguably it needs that 240W barrel plug. My current business class laptop also has one of those barrel plugs.
