Are you sure about the Thinkpad X1 Carbon? [1]

She’s got a gen 7.
It definitely works. We don’t even have the Lenovo charger anymore. It broke.
To be clear, you aren’t going to be able to use a phone/tablet charger when you’ve got the lid open and are actively using the computer. But with the lid closed and the laptop asleep, it absolutely will trickle charge to 100% overnight.
Again, 7th gen X1 Carbon and another even older Thinkpad. No idea about the newer stuff.
That's awfully powerful for a phone charger, is it not? I think my kids' Chromebook chargers have that kind of output.
In our household, we use all the USB-C stuff interchangeably. My wife has a Thinkpad X1 Carbon and another slightly older Thinkpad. Both seem to charge fine with whatever we throw at them.
But truth be told, my wife uses an extra Apple 65W charger we bought when on the go. They are just plain better built, and disconnect into 3 pieces making them way easier to pack up in a bag.
