A few years ago the enterprise level laptops started to get USB-C power, typically from a (very expensive) docking station. I'm using a DeWalt USB-C power dongle to power a Dell Latitude 7480 from 2018 -- it is part of a kit that also can use a DeWalt 20v battery to supply power by USB A and C to keep cell phones going during extended power outages. The Latitude has both touchpad (with 2 buttons) and nipple pointers. -- George N. White III
