The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    It'll take a bit of jury-rigging, but if you can place an ammeter in between on of the wires on the pin (i would do this by cutting into the power cord and splicing it in series) then measuring that...

    otherwise, if you somehow have a spare jack and socket, you could create a pass-through that measures voltage (place it accross + and -) and amperage (interrupt a wire with it connected to either end)

    multiply the values and you have wattage.

    Yeah, you can definitely hack something together, but make sure your multimeter is rated for at least 10A DC...
