Hello,
this is my first relatively good laptop and I want to put it to good use.
i will be travelling a bit in the near future and want to know for sure if I can charge my laptop with a usb C cable and portable charger (32,000amh). I can’t be sure all planes will have a plug for my laptop charger so was hoping a portable charger and usb c cable would do the trick as it is much more portable!
is this possible? Or is the usb c port just for upload/download files?
if it is possible, is there anything I need to make sure of? I.e. adapters for power etc?
thank you

The specs of your machine is

and the USB-C port is : USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C™ (Data Transfer Only, 5 Gb/s signaling rate).
No, you can NOT charge your machine using USB-C port it is for Data Transfer ONLY.
Regards.
