The Dell laptop AC power brick draws 180W (19.5V, 9.23A).
I heard this might be too much for the aircraft and power plug basically wouldn't work at all.
Is that true?
I've run some pretty power hungry stuff through the 110V outlet on these things. But my laptop tops out at 61W, so dunno if you are going to have issues.

As a side note, the USB outlets onboard occasionally don't like my iPad.
