Maybe its a typo and they mean the Magsafe3 connector? I though the USB-C standard was limited to 100 watts.

They recently introduced a new standard that allows up to 240W

They may have a usbC -> magsafe 3 connector. It lets you just replace the cable when it inevitably breaks instead of the whole brick.

Instead of having to replace the mag safe power brick for 85€ you can now just replace the cable for 55€.

However, it my personal experience, I've never had the cable fail, but I've had 2 mag safe power supplies fail (they started getting very hot while charging and at some point stopped working alltogether).

Dell USB-C power adapters have exceeded 100 watts in the past on e.g. the XPS 17
