If you buy a Steam Deck, or the Lenovo laptop I have for work, the only charging options you have are USB C. Their standard chargers put out at least ~~60~~ 45 W, and they aren't particularly special. In fact, I'm pretty sure 20 W at 5 V won't be enough to supply these while in use, so you will either be using battery with long charge times in between, using them with battery-assisted power for longer use times until you hit those long charge times, or using the ~~60~~ 45 W or more at whatever voltage the chargers provide.
The Steam Deck charger is 45W.
~~IIRC the one that came with my OLED model is 65W~~
It appears I did not remember correctly
I'm looking at the one for my OLED deck right now and it's labelled as 45W (20V 2.25A).
The ones I've seen that go over 45W specifically for the Steam Deck are mini docks with HDMI out and more
While this is handy to know, it doesn't negate my point.
