Two USB-C cables with the same-looking ends — one charges your laptop four times slower: 60 watts instead of 240.
Why: past 60W, the charger asks a tiny chip inside the cable’s USB-C end whether it can handle more. No chip, charging stays at 60W.
Fix: read the print on the cable end — look for 240W, and keep your laptop’s cable for the laptop.
That same print can hide a second limit: file speed. Old USB 2 speed is about 480 megabits a second, so a big photo folder takes a long time. Many phone-box cables charge fine under 60W but copy files slowly — look for 10 or 40 gigabits on the print.
