    Use a 170W power adapter on a P53 with a 230W adapter in specs?

    I want to buy a P53 with the NVIDIA Quadro RTX3000 6GB graphics card. The reason for this card is that I can expect some visualization work in the future. Most of the time, I will use it for software development. However, choosing this card automatically comes with the 230W adapter at lenovo.com, which is not only heavier but also more expensive. I usually buy a few power adapters and put them in different places (one at work, one at home, one in the bag, etc.) for convenience. SUPPOSE that I use the 170W adapter on such a P53. Is it going to work? Is there any problem I should know?

    Thanks for any input!
