    1. there are two cables there.

    2. Judging by the thickness of the cable, they’re USB 2.0 cables intended mainly for charging. A USB 3.x cable is going to be about as thick as the plug body. You vs. the guy she told you not to worry about:

      Solid guess. You know your USB 2.0 USB-C to USB-C charging cables. (Its a 60w capable cable btw, not 120w or 240w, so don’t bother trying to power your gaming laptop with it)
