Engineering trade-off unique to this model: the USB-C receptacle handles PD charging (retaining 15W operationally, passing 85W to the host) when a wall adapter is present, but automatically switches roles to a USB 2.0 (480Mbps) data port whenever no adapter is connected — allowing peripheral use purely on battery power.
