Is it worth getting a 100w PD charger?
How well does it work with a high end gaming laptop?
Who knew you could talk about a PD Charger for almost 30min!!! Anyways, hope you find some useful info.

USB-PD R3.1 is coming and delivers 240W!!!! which would be an awesome no compromise solution hopefully hitting future laptops soon.

UPDATE: 2/3/2022
So something has changed since I shot the video but it seems PD charging drops during heavy gpu/cpu loads like while gaming. I'm not sure if it's a driver, bios, or windows 11 thing but it is definitely behaving differently now. See comments for more details, and I'll update if things change.
