eeeink, I may have given you the wrong impression, the cable I use for connecting the Boox Note 10.3 to my PC is USB-C to USB-C.



I think the problem might be with OS X.
I don't think it's specific to OS x, I never got my Note to charge via USB-C PD chargers either (I tried two or three different ones with different cables, as well as a USB-C PD compliant power bank). Admittedly, my attempts were all last year (reported in some other thread here), I finally got used to the fact that I'll need a "stupid" USB-A charger for the device.
My conclusion was that power delivery is not implemented on the device, but if you got it working maybe it's just not properly implemented and your equipment is more tolerant in that respect? (Maybe similar to the issues that the Raspberry Pi 4 was recently found to have with properly implemented chargers - apparently it only charges with cheap chargers that ignore the device self-identification).
