Microsoft continue to ship their Surface laptops with over-sized power bricks, which is enough to disqualify them.

Similar spec Samsung laptops (Galaxy Books) come with a regular USB-C cable and a fast charging power adapter that looks like any other plug.

Anybody know why Samsung can do this and Microsoft can't?

Only having to lug around a single cable and charger for all devices is a dealbreaker.

For the same reason as apple. They want you to use "surface connect" or "magsafe" instead.

Of course, you can just throw that away and charge by the usb c port instead, so I am a bit confused how that disqualifies anything.
