“Does the laptop throttle in games or intensive programs when you're charging the laptop via USB-C (instead of the chonky block charger)? In other words, can you avoid using the chonky charger and still get good performance?”

So long as you're delivering the same power specs via USB-C (watts and amperes) and the computer is not heating beyond its throttle temps, your experience should be the same as the DC port.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It is normal for the laptop to throttle in games and while running highly-intensive programs either with the charger or AC adapter connected, or running in battery mode only. Running in battery mode will discharge the battery faster than normal due to high system resource utilization or high power consumption while gaming or while running high-intensive programs.
