Why do no pics show the USB-A side of the system clearly? It's like they only want to talk about USB-C.

Also I can't tell if it does USB-C Power Delivery or not? Or would I still need a separate charger for this? Would be really nice to only carry one charger for phone and laptop...

What phone charges with USB-C?

From here: https://www.windowscentral.com/surface-book-2-tech-specs "Microsoft is still using its proprietary Surface Connect for power and the optional Surface Dock."

aaah.. at the end: "Users can also recharge the Surface Book 2 with a USB Type-C charger as long as it is powerful enough. Devices can be charged from the Surface Book 2, such as a phone using USB Type-C."

I have a Nexus 5X, my wife has a Nexus 6P, and my computer is a Dell XPS 13. We charge all three with a USB-C charger, which means less cords and adapters around the house and in the car.

My Nexus 6P charges with USB-C.

USB-C is pretty standard on Android now. Most newer Android phones have moved to USB-C, including Samsung's S8 and Note 8. All of Google's own branded phones have used USB-C for a coupe of years now.

It's good to see that Type-C is becoming the standard laptop charger on new laptops!

currently different 210 handsets according to the GSM Arena database.

Almost every new phone.

Except you-know-who. Arrrrrgh!

Where have you been for the last... like 2-3 years?

In the Apple walled garden, I guess...
