    As USB gets upgrades to provide more power, we will need those barrel jacks less and less. My laptop can only charge 65W from USB C, but 130W from the barrel jack. It’s a couple of years old now, I think from before there was a standard for USB to provide over 100W, but USB C can provide 240W now. So new laptops shouldn’t even need barrel jacks anymore.
