An average desktop computer uses between 60 and 300 watts. It is very difficult to know exactly how much computers use on average because there are so many different hardware configurations.
Here we see the recharge is about 29 watts and the most power consumption we see for the laptop operation is about 23 watts. The total of 52 watts matches pretty well with the 60 watt rated power draw printed on the laptop. The AC power supply was measured with a âKill A Wattâ device and showed about 41 VA.
