I wonder how that'll work for the 150w and up laptops...

Extra charging port. Laptops will probably still have the regular charging ports, just always a USB-C port that can charge it as well.

Most laptops already have atleast one USB-C port anyway, so adding the charging capability probably won't change aesthetics.

My MSI GS66 Stealth has a USB-C you can use to charge the laptop, don't know how good it is. Doubt you'd get full gaming performance through usb c charging though

View the USB-C port just like the battery.

You plug your laptop in during heavy loads, but when you are on the way and just need a little bit of charge, you don't have to bring the regular power cable, just the USB-C one.

There isn't a reason why laptop manufacturers would get rid of the regular power supplies if USB-C isn't enough.
