    Hello,

    I was wondering is the Dell XPS 13 able to be charged by the USB-C port? I've purchased the developer edition and have found myself needing a USB-C hub to output HDMI so was wondering if it was getting one that also connected to the mains for charging.

    If it is possible, has anyone done this? Is the charging rate much different to using the charger provided? I'm assuming if it's possible it's slower otherwise Dell wouldn't have added the separate power charger connection.

    Thanks for any help,
    Neil.
