There are efficiency losses when taking power out of a battery and when putting charge into the battery so I think a 30W charger would be insufficient for a 27W power consumption.
That 27W is only transient though. I think the fastest battery drain I've seen from any online source would put sustained consumption at about 24W average. That doesn't seem to be the norm in most cases though, typical usage seems to be more like 18-20W on average. So cases where a 30W charger can't keep up should be few and far between.
Oh, 27W transient. I thought that was 27W sustained peak like running furmark on a gpu type of load
