Wanting to know what the computer (HP Compaq 621) would be using in the way of power?

To answer your question ....
Look on the little power brick to see what is it's rating.
My Toshiba one is DC 19Volts 3.42Amps.
That is it's maximum.
Simple equation is 19 X 3.42 = 64.98watts.
It will use max while charging up the battery in the laptop and then throttle back to very little.
I'll lend you my 2 devices one day that will show you exactly what you are using.... both 240v AC plus 12V DC.
You can only guess without them.
