Should the user expect that all USB-C chargers and cables are compatible with all devices simply because the cable fits into the socket?
Watch for reviewers and articles that confuse or overlook the voltage and wattage differences between the USB-C spec levels.
This article suggests that Google's 60 watt USB-C power source would be plug and play into the new Apple MacBook. What about the converse?
