Does this move apply to gaming laptops too?
Beefy laptops need more than that right now, my other half got a gaming laptop a few months ago with what i'd call reasonable specs and that had a 330w power brick.
If the rumor's on 40 series cards are true then even more power is going to be needed. 30 series cards are already "150 Watts" for the full tier model and a 5900 for another 80w or so and you're pushing that limit without a fast refresh rate high res monitor, multiple fans, these days about 30 watts of RGB.
Looking at getting ROG G17 next month and the best that can do through USB-C is 100W so throttles if you are using that over the brick, if you have a 100W wall plug

Once we get devices with 240watt support it should be less of an issue
