> 96W of drain will use up the maximum-size laptop battery in a single hour. It's not necessary.

When I work in blender, especially in larger scenes, it's necessary. When I play games, it's necessary. When I run a long build in Unity, with a render pipeline stage, and the fans kick on, and I'm maxing out my laptop running 120w+, it's not even adequate.

There's a reason the new PD spec goes up to 240w (2.5x 96w), and it's not because they felt like it - playing games absolutely is a workload that requires it.

It's not necessary, for you. For those of us who do more than edit text files, it's extremely necessary.
