I am just curious. My laptop charger is rated for 65 Watts output.
I am now going to create the most ridiculous scenario:
What if, I wanted to play Crysis 3 at Ultra 4K settings. It would max out the GPU, (GeForce 840M)
30W is used.
Say, I was also playing a game using integrated GPU, (Intel HD 4400) 10W from what I've seen.
If I also wanted to do CPU benchmarking. Maxing out the CPU (i5-4210U), Its a 15 Watt CPU, and with the Integrated GPU maxed out, It would be using 25 W.
Display at Full brightness. Maybe 3-5W
If I was also burning an image to DVD, Another 5 Watts.
Random/Sequential Writes to 3 External HDDs, Probably 10W
Would be about 75W. What if I was using my laptop without the battery? then the Charging adapter alone would have to give my lappy 75 W instead of the rated 65W
What would happen? Would my laptop shutdown? Or will the charging adapter fry out?
On idle, my laptop uses 4-5 Watts. In gaming, 30W
