I haven't got my head around the spec enough to know: does the fact that it's USB-C guarantee that it can deliver 20v and lots'o-watts to accessories? What about accepting that voltage from a charger? I'd bet that Asus hasn't bothered to set up that port to allow charging through it as the computer also has a dedicated old-style charger/plug combo.
I thought USB C chargers were supposed to negotiate power and only provide higher voltage if the device was able to accept it. BTW, I recently bought an Asus ZenPad 10tablet. It came with a standard 5V charger, with a A connector and an A - C cable. I also recently bought a Google Pixel 2 phone. It's charger came with a C - C cable, but a 5V 3A output. So, it can provide higher current, but not voltage.
