I'm looking at buying the USB C charging port mod by MikePDiy but should I be be buying the 65w or 90w version for my X200s? (www.tindie.com)

The title says it all. The Tindie page says

Processor : i5 or lower -> 65W , i7 -> 90W

And I imagine the Intel Core 2 Duo L9400 (2) @ 1.867GHz my X200s has fit in that i5 or lower category but I just wanted to get a thumbs up before I pull the trigger on the 65w version.

If you are interested in USB C charging mods yourself by the way he has versions for different models.

That's what I meant when I said I had a USB C cable I use. It's the same as that but from Ali Express.

Ah ok, but in this case I don't see the need to install a USB-C connector on the laptop. Just install a suitable barrel connector on the cable.

The idea is to have one charging cable for all my devices

Well ok, seems like a lot of work, but I'm interested in hearing how it goes. Have fun! I wonder if one cable plus a small adapter could handle it without changing the laptop port.
