General discussion • Re: What product would you like to see?

I hadn't realised you even had a 45W power supply ! So when is the Pi laptop it's obviously designed to power coming out ?

I'm sticking to my prediction that it's pre-empting the Pi 6 which won't be negotiating 5V.

No dangerous splitter cables for me please. I'd like to see a 1000W supply with 40 USB-C PD outputs that each negotiate 5V at 5A.

I shudder to think what that would cost.

It could be reasonably cheap using a suitable chassis PSU or a set of cheaper ones. That can permanently supply 5A to all 40 outputs. All it then needs is a fuse on each output and something to do the PD negotiation. And that doesn't need to interact with the supply itself; it purely signals "yes, you can draw 5A".
