Eek,

Someone is way off here.
Watts = volts x amps,  which is what the rest of the world uses to express
power.

What you see on a laptop power supply is the power rating of the power
supply.
The laptop is probably using less than this.   What it really uses probably
varies on how hard it is working, how bright the display is, blah blah blah.
