Sorry if this is the wrong area to ask this, I wasn't quite sure where it should go, but...
I've had my elitebook for close to 3 years now, and of all things, the laptop's charger breaks. I took a look at the components, and the charger is a 200 watt model that HP doesn't make anymore. I have a friend who has a 120 watt charger that he's willing to sell me. I don't use the elitebook for anything more than gaming nowadays, and I'm not going to be lugging it around all the time. In fact, it mostly just stays on my desk at home.
So, my question is this: If I'm going to use my elitebook as a desktop only, will a 120 watt charger be adequate for it in that capacity, or do I HAVE to go find a replacement 200 watt charger (I know they're out there, I'd just rather not drop $90 or so when I can get something that will also work for around $20).
