   I think the 27W PSU was the original official version.   
      
   Also, it is worth making clear the rPi5 USB PD is unusual, it only uses    
   5V and negotiates current up to 5A (which somehow = 27W).   
      
      
   Whereas my normal USB PD plugs produce their specified high wattage by    
   boosting voltage, so they don't work with the rpi5 at all. Which    
   irritated me a lot when I found out.
