I forgot to mention that there is also a ThinkPad A485 coming out soon. This is very similar to the T series but has a Ryzen CPU and GPU instead. I would expect that to also have USBC charging in most likelihood.
Thanks, they dont seem to do a 15" screen sadly.
Specs wise the AERO 15x V8 is flawless for my needs - but obviously a power plug required. - I have a leisure battery that is 230aH so not sure how long that would run for - the power brick on the Aero is 180watt - but obviously it won't pull that in reality - my old laptop was around 120-140watts depending on load, a couple of generations behind but similar spec.
My on the road power spec will be a 230aH brand new Bosch leisure battery, 120 watt solar panel, yet to purchase an inverter but will get a really good one, probably 1500-2000watt pure sine wave.
Does a 12v power adaptor exist for a 180watt Gigabyte laptop? - I know iv seen some generic laptop chargers from a 12v dc power port, but usually only upto 100watt - if the plug fitted could I use that on the gigabyte laptop to help assist to power it even though the battery would still drain while I was doing productivity work on the road? - I know its more efficient if the power adaptor goes from 12v dc to 19.7v ac (usual laptop power requirements)
This is my entire reason for asking about USB laptops - and hence why the MacBook Pro was the only one I was thinking of - also its handy it charges off any USB port so I could use any usb in my van.
However if there is a decent way of using the Aero laptop with my power setup Id consider it - thoughts ladies & gentleman ?
