USB-C PD3.1 charger for Dell G3 3779

Hello everyone!

I'm currently looking to buy a 140W USB-PD3.1 charger to use with my Dell G3 3779. I found a USB-C to 7.4mm cable, exactly like the input my laptop has, is this possible to do?

The charger that came with my laptop is a bit old, and it's annoying to carry it around everywhere, I'd like to have an all-in-one charger.

Charger: UGREEN Nexode Pro 160W (140W max) - https://a.co/d/7O3gheW
Cable: Dell Laptop Charger Cable 7.4 mm x 5.0 mm - https://a.co/d/0Cj8KBN

My Dell G3 3779 uses a 130W charger (19.5V-6.7A).

I'd really appreciate any opinions on this, and if you have a better solution for a more portable charger, I'm open to it!

Thank you!

It's unlikely to work.  The charger has to be recognized by the system BIOS to allow full CPU power function and battery charging.

That will not work (as the other reply indicates).  If you're looking for something smaller and lighter, that would be something like the charger here.
