Would a 65w usb-c laptop charger work for my steam deck?

I have a 65w Lenovo usb-c power adapter I’m just wondering if it will be ok for my steam deck as the lead is 3m in total and would be ideal

Steam deck needs 45 watts so you will be fine

Actually charging mine with a 65W Lenovo laptop charger, works fine as long as the charger supports USB-PD.
The higher wattage rating tells that the charger can deliver more power if a device needs it, but the Deck will only draw the power it needs.
Which isn't even 45W unless you are both charging below 80-ish % and gaming simultaneously.
