A store employee told me that in addition to using the included power adapter, you can also charge this laptop using the thunderbolt port. Is that true? null

Question

I have this Laptop, just now tested it. No you cannot charge it via Thunderbolt nor type-C. This is a gaming laptop that polls 180 watts of power through the power brick. He probably was thinking more about the lower tier model laptops that have no dedicated GPU and a lower TDP CPU. You will have to charge this laptop through the power brick included.

Yes, if you have a piece of hardware that provides enough power. However I would not recommend this, as I have seen this cause issues with other computers not receiving enough power.
