    I would like to know, if anyone knows, what is the total power consumption of the m570TU on charge and use.

    If my question seems unclear: on charge is when the computer is closed but the battery is in charge. And use is when gaming at full speed while the batt. is full or not but the notebook is plugged in the wall.

    I want to know the power at the AC plug if possible, im asking this because instead of buying the card adaptor, I will simply buy a DC/AC convertor but i need to know how much watts it used when gaming and plugged.

    Thanks

    The total power requirement CHANGES at all times, mostly due to the CPU who changes multipliers, the spinning of the HDD and the current frequency of the GPU.(s)
    Now if you must, the battery of the RU/TU has a 4.4Ah battery, and the battery last around 2 hours for normal usage , or about 3-3.5 hours with MINIMAL work and dimmed screen.
    You make the calculations if you must, but I am not fully enlightened as to what you want to do.Skip the AC adapter you mead? why? it`s autoswitching and works in any voltage range from 110-240V,and frequency range from 50 to 60 Hz.

    Ok, I realised my question was very unclear.

    So my question would be more like : at max (ex: full gaming with a 5% life left on the battery) how much Watts the AC adaptor use ? The question could be also : how much watts does a invertor (DC to AC) must have of output to always give enough power to the laptop adaptor (AC to DC)

    are you looking for an AC adapter? M570RU-R is 120W, so I think M570TU should be around 110W. you can just look at your adapter when you laptop arrived. The AC adapter kobe_24 suggested would be more than enough for you.
