Hi 🙂 in laptop manual there is written that "to prevent any damage use only power sources rated 20v/5a" so 100watt ones.
I'm wondering is there any actual risk in damaging battery or usb port if I'll use 65w charger? Imo it should just charge slower but maybe I dont know about something.
Of course I'll not be gaming whithout dedicated charging brick, 65w will be only for light workloads like browsing internet, watching movies while im on a trip or away from my usual desk.

When using PD charging, the charging mode provides the required wattage for the system while also charging the battery.
The original charger for this model is 330W. Using a non-original PD charger may not supply the maximum wattage required by the system. When PD charging and running higher load software simultaneously, this could cause the PD power to be insufficient, requiring the battery to supply additional power. If this usage scenario continues over time, it may lead to frequent charging and discharging of the battery, potentially reducing its lifespan.
We recommend using the original charger to avoid potential damage to internal components. This information is provided for your reference. Thank you!
