according to energy star:

your (and my) crappy little LiteOn supplied-by-OEM power supply for your laptop is 86% efficient and PFC > 0.9, if its got a "efficiency level: V" rating on it...
really? I was thinking about getting some high grade cable and modding my PSU so that it plugs into my laptop to A) save a wall outlet and B) boost the efficiency of charging my laptop. But if this little 90W thing is 86%+ efficient with PFC > 0.9, why bother? Also its 19W which means I'd have to do something trickey to get my plan to work.
