 If the label only shows output in volts and amps we can use Ohm's law to calculate watts.  In this case, 19v x 4.62A = 87.78W, which is in line with the 90W number on the label.
+Example from secessus' personal experience:

+  * new entry level laptop with very similar benchmarks as the Dell, **30w**
+  * chromebook, **16w**
