Using a 200w Charger for a 230w Blade?

Hi,

 

So back when I had a GTX 1060 Blade, I bought a 2nd charger so I could mount one under my desk, and keep a 2nd one in my bag. Now that I have ordered an RTX 2080 Blade, which uses a 230w charger, I was just wondering, if I was to use the 200w charger on it, will it kill the battery, kill the laptop altogether, or just charge slower?

 

Thanks, Vizz.

It will slow the computer down immensely when you have it on the charger, so you'd need a 230w charger.

It'd slow it down more then when it's off charge?

Yes because it will try to compensate for the lack of power.
