Hi @RedWyv the ac charger power rating of 330W is what it is designed to deliver continuously if required, for example, when playing a power hungry game. The ac voltage into and the dc voltage out of the charger is as stated on the charger label. The current amperage will increase as more power is required. The M17 has a Hybrid Power Design that requires both the charger (330W) and battery (90W) to supply power when playing power hungry games.
Laptops typically use about 60W on average in general use.
Even when switched off, laptops draw a small current from the coin battery. If the laptop is not used for a long period of time, the main battery will not hold its charge and will require charging. To find what power your laptop's charger is drawing from the ac mains, get an Electricity Usage Monitor. Plug this into your ac mains socket and then plug the charger into the Electricity Usage Monitor.
