Hi,

My USB-C cable (AC Adapter) got broken a couple of days ago. I was considering buying a new one but it's 10€ plus another 12 € of shipping.. so 22€. I'd like to know about some more cheap alternatives..
Do you know any alternative that works pretty much same way than the official one ? I mean, I have a few over here but I'd like to have a similar charge speed, and avoid any battery damage etc... I have no idea about what kind of specs should I based on to find a proper cable.. (I guess some that supports up to 20V/5A, like official specs says. Not sure though... I am not a hardware guy 😅 )

90 degree power delivery cable. I think it would be less likely to stress the port if bumped. Less intrusive. I have one/ use it.
