The Nintendo Switch PD charges from every adapter and cable I have tried. However the Switch's power brick itself won't PD charge any other device.

The charger included with the original Nintendo Switch charges my MacBook Pro at 40 watts.

I frequently use the Switch's power brick to charge my Thinkpad, as it's smaller and so easier to transport than the Thinkpad's original power brick.

Me too, I have a tiny 30W PD charger + usb-c cable which is enough for my uses, and about 10% of the size and weight of the 65W power brick.
