Are you looking for actual usage or what your power supply is rated at?

On a side note....Packard Bell still makes computers???

If you want to know actual usage, you need an instrument such as a Killawatt to read it.

It's unlikely to use over 200 watts unless that is a high powered video card.

No computer tells you that. You need a device, as mentioned, or a UPS with an app that pulls the usage info from the UPS.
