USB more power than you think

on a desktop of USB usually comes in pairs and a USB pair can output up to 110w of power between them so 20w doesn't seem unlikely even on a laptop.

When I used to work in support customers would often call about computers cutting out because they had attached too many usb devices without a powerful enough power supply.
