Can I use a 100W charger for my 65W laptop?

So, can I use a 100W charger for my 65W laptop? That’s a question I’ve actually wondered myself, because, honestly, who wants to carry around multiple chargers? It’s such a hassle.

Yeah, turns out it’s totally fine. Think of it like this – remember that time I tried to fill my little sports car with a gas tank meant for a truck? It was overkill, sure, but it didn’t blow up the engine! My car only took what it needed. Same thing with your laptop. It’ll only draw the 65W it’s designed for. The extra wattage is just…extra. Like having a really big water bottle when you only need a sip – you’re not going to hurt yourself, are you?

I actually do this with my work laptop all the time. I travel a lot, and carrying one charger is a lifesaver. Super convenient, seriously. And let me tell you, I’ve been doing this for ages and haven’t fried a single thing. It’s perfectly safe, trust me. Although, you know, I’m not an electrical engineer or anything. Maybe don’t quote me on this to your next tech support call! Just my experience, you know? But I’m pretty sure those scientists who design laptops wouldn’t have made them so that they’d spontaneously combust from a slightly stronger charger. That’d be a really bad PR move for them, right?
