    I read on a post somewhere that someone had an M11x that came with a 65w power supply. There are a few revisions of the M11x and I don't know much about the differences in power demand.

    I have an M11x R3 that came with a large 90w power supply. I'd really like to order a smaller one and, obviously, I can go much smaller with a 65w power supply versus 90w.

    Does anyone happen to know if a 65w power supply is going to be enough to keep up with this little guy?

    There is a reason it came with a 90w PSU...

    Obviously there's a reason. But was that reason due to power demand or could it have been another reason like having a surplus of 90w power supplies in stock, or 90w power supplies being cheaper, etc. Companies do things like that all the time.

    So what I'd like to know is what kind of demands this system actually has.
