I have a 2019 iMac and a Lenovo ThinkPad (for work).
I have used my wife’s MacBook Pro USB C charger and brick to charge the Lenovo ThinkPad and always get the warning that the source isn’t sufficient to charge the Lenovo ThinkPad fast enough (but it does).
I’m trying to remove the clutter from my desk and I was thinking about plugging the USB C cable into the iMacs USB C port and the Lenovo ThinkPads USB C port to charge it. I don’t care if it charges slower, I just want to make sure it’s okay to do so for the iMac.
I assume it will work, but is this safe to do? I don’t really care as much for the ThinkPad since it’s a work computer but I want to make sure I’m not messing up my 2019 iMac by doing this.
Any advice or feedback would be appreciated!
And to confirm, this (image attached) is the area I’m referring to when using the iMac, is this USB C or Thunderbolt? Would I need this cable or this cable?
