One especially scrupulous Google engineer, Benson Leung, is as of now on an unordinary mission: he's gradually working his way through a cluster of USB Type C links and connectors supplied by Amazon, to check whether they are really up-to-spec and fit for charging his Chromebook Pixel.
In the first place things first: of the ten USB Type C items that Leung has audited, just three of them were completely specs-agreeable and fit for charging his Pixel. The three great links (Belkin, iOrange-E, Frieq) were perpetually more costly (about £15/$20) than the seven duff ones (£6/$10). Clearly there may be some shoddy links that satisfy the full USB Type C determination, yet Leung hasn't discovered one yet.
The USB Type C 1.1 detail takes into consideration power conveyance of up to 3A, which is sufficient juice to charge a portable PC like the Chromebook Pixel. Past USB specs, however, took into account power conveyance of somewhere around 900mA and 1.5A. As per Leung, the issue is for the most part identified with how the links manage going from more established Type An or Micro/Mini connectors to the new Type C connector.
