30 Watts at idle is desktop territory, a laptop should be maybe half that nowadays. I’d love to check at the wall with a watt meter, but my older ThinkPad does not have a removable battery anymore and I cannot say how much it would draw just from a USB-C power supply.
That really depends on many factors, including type of CPU, RAM, thermal setup, screen size and brightness, radios etc. But you can test that pretty easily with a wall wart kill-a-watt type meter or a usb-c tester.
Most laptops come with 100W bricks, 30W is consumption at idle but most consume around 60W when under load
