Laptops will have power configured per design. If your laptop is designed with a 300 watt power budget, a CPU can use 45 watts and the GPU can use whatever it wants left over.

 

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

No.You can't generalize.

You can have a quad core or some low power cpu with a video card that consumes up to 65-90w (ex a 2060 max-q /mobile or whatever)

 

On desktops, you can mix a 40w with a 3090 that may consume 400 watts.

 

On laptops, you can't exceed the power provided by the power adapter, which will usually be in the 90-120w. Some laptops may come with 2 power adapters, or a power adapter that can do up to 200 watts.

I have no idea what is going on here... Especially without context.
