I have a gaming laptop, that won't work with USB C, right? EDIT: looks like that's not going to change

If it pulls more than 240W from the wall it can use USB-C PD, though common chargers only go up to (or just a bit over) 100W.

My charger uses 180W for my personal laptop. My office laptop already has USB C and pulls 65W.

There is an option for more than one USB-C port.

Chargers for 240W will appear eventually, standard was approved few months ago.

It's common for newer gaming laptops to have both USB-C and proprietary charging capability. When not under load, the 65W or 100W suffices for charging.

If your gaming laptops needs more than 240w you could use multiple 240w chargers. I believe gaming laptops use multiple chargers anyway.
