Mini PC makers should use their brain and utilize USB-C connection for a standardized POWER-IN. Smartphone users will love this. The low end model of this miniPC probably only uses 20W, 30W with a lot of peripherals attached.

I object. 60W will MELT your average USB cable. And if on top of that you plug so much as one USB port on this PC, perhaps hoping to get those measly 18W/h delivered to your iPad... Well then you're gonna get the kind of "Lightning" that Apple doesn't cover in their warranty.
But I'll entertain your thought for a moment. So I have this new, certified 100W USB cable and a compatible Belkin charger... Which, by the way, cost A LOT of money. And yes, they weight (slightly) less than your standard-issue power brick. Now what? What was the point?
