Comment on Why are laptop adapters so much larger than phone adapters of same power rating?

In general with electrical things, the longer it will be operating at a high usage the bigger the need for heat dissapation and more robust parts. Phones of the same power rating still have less juice, as in smaller batteries, and have less power usage overall.

While the power rating may be the same, the volume of energy is not the same. Like running water through a straw and a hose can have the same pressure but way more water is going through the hose.
