No, they can be very different. USB‐C contains three components:

• Data transfer: data speeds can vary from 480Mbps (USB 2.0) to 10Gbps (USB 3.1 Gen 2)

• Power Delivery: laptops may or may not support power delivery. If USB‐C power delivery is not supported, a traditional laptop power tip is going to be needed to charge the device.

• Video support: may or may not be implemented by the host device manufacturer (as they may continue to use DisplayPort, HDMI, or VGA ports for video capability)
