Medion AKOYA S3409 USB Type-C video out

[Rklauco]

Hi all.

I'd like to purchase this laptop. I would like to know if the USB Type-C port is capable of delivering the video signal (with HDMI/VGA adapter) and if it supports simultanous charging.

Does anybody have experience with such laptop?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Rklauco,

You should be able to see what your USB type C port supports by the logo's beside it. 

If the port supports Displayport, there should be a Displayport logo to the right of the port. 

If the port supports powerdelivery, the USB logo to the left of the port is in a sort of a battery icon. 

Have a look at this image.

Well, that's a theory.

I have Lenovo Yoga and I have HP laptop, none of them have any sign next to USB Type-C. And yes, they do have limitations - e.g. the HP is unable to charge itself using the port and the Lenovo can only use one of 2 to output video.

Well that is ofcourse if the manufacturers choose to actually use the logo's. If they don't, then it is anyone's guess. I dont have this model so I'm afraid I'm of no more help here :(.
