Hi there, I’ve been wanting a framework for awhile now, just haven’t pulled the trigger yet. I was perusing the website today, comparing the price and performance of different configurations, when I realized that the 16 needs a 100w power adapter, 180w if you’ve got the graphics card.

This is a dumb question, because obviously it would charge fine with the lid closed and idling or turned off. Or I could just upgrade my power adapters. But I have a lot of 65w USB C PD chargers in my house and cars, and I was wondering if anyone has tried using them, and if so how effective is it?

Like, 180w is a lot of power. If I’m just working on spreadsheets or something, I’m imagining it would charge just fine? Under a heavier load I would probably start to slip backwards? Where’s the line? Movie watching? Light gaming?

Just food for discussion I guess, I still haven’t pulled the trigger haha.

Thanks!
