Question Laptop Power Supply

[Budfudder]

I have a work laptop with a power supply (the power supply's back reads 65w / Output 19.5V=3.34 A / Input 100-240v~1.7A 50-60Hz, and it has the polarity with the positive first, and the negative on the right).

I don't normally use that power supply anyway - I use the laptop plugged into a docking station, which has its own power supply (the back of which reads 130w / Output 19.5=6.7A / Input 100-240V~2.5A 50-60Hz, with the polarity negative first, positive on the right).

I just bought a new laptop which, of course, came with its own power supply (the back of which reads 90.0W / Output 19.5V=4.62A/90W / Input 100-240 V~1.5A 50-60Hz, with the polarity negative first, positive on the right).

My question is - can I use my new laptop in the docking station I already have safely? The docking station's power supply and my laptop's power supply have the same polarity, but with a different wattage (docking station 130, laptop 90) and a different amperage (is that the right word?) (docking station 6.7, laptop 4.62).

Thanks for any help/suggestions - as is probably apparent, I don't know much about this stuff.

How is this docking station providing power to he laptop, USB C or some other charger? If USB C then it does not matter what power adapter the dock uses, what matters is what gets fed through it to the lapotp.

If they're both the same manufacturer (aka HP, Dell, etc) and they have the same plug size, then yes.

If they are different, then no.

All good choices.
