> All high performance laptops draw more power than that at high load

You’re going to need to qualify what you mean by “high performance”.

I'd classify any laptop with 6 or more intel cores and a dedicated gpu >= rx560/gtx1050(ti). Not so sure about mobile, but a desktop RX560 on its own uses 80-100W[0] which doesn't really leave any headroom for a 6 (yet alone an 8 core) cpu.

Recent MBP15s have 6 or 8 cores, and at least Radeon pro555, 560 or some variety of Vega.

They run on an 87W charger fine.
