Can 12th gen i7-1280P DIY laptop draw more than 60W?

Yes.

The CPU alone can draw / boost up to 64W in [really] ideal condition. Then there’s the power draw of the SSD, memory, display panel, wifi card, any USB peripherials…etc. So, yes, the ‘system’ as a whole can draw more than 60W.

100W PD is the better bet to cover all the bases.

The 60W bundled power adapter is the “It will do” option. Whereas a “100W” after market power adapter is the “We can do better” option.
