Acer Predator USB-C charger wattage

Acer’s own Helios 300 product specs list a USB Type-C port with Thunderbolt 4 and DC-in port 20 V; 100 W, while the shipped AC adapter is much higher wattage (e.g. 280 W on Helios 300 PH317-56-70XJ). Triton Neo 16 lists a 230 W maximum power-supply wattage for the OEM brick — USB-C / Thunderbolt PD is backup / light use only and does not replace that gaming brick. Acer Community guidance: gaming notebooks that need more than 100 W must use a correctly rated 3-pin AC adapter; USB-C alone may drain under load or show a low-power warning. For a USB-C spare, shop a nearby 100W USB-C PD / GaN brick with an e-marked 5A cable. This Predator page is distinct from Acer USB-C charger (Chromebook / Swift / Acer Store 45–100W adapters) and from MSI / Razer Blade / other Windows laptop USB-C pages.
