I know lots of ppl that have Power Inverters in the cars/trucks/vans to run their Laptops with an AC adapter and other AC tools and things for their business/work and have no problems. But if ya do... make absolutely sure that yer car battery is in very good condition otherwise replace it with a new stronger one (more reserve capacity... more cranking amps is not nessessary, just more reserve).

The reason for more reserve capacity is for when you are runnin it with the car turned off. Just like when yer runnin the Stereo for an hour and then you try to start yer car... If the battery has a good reserve and the charging system of yer car has been doin it's job (charging the battery), then the car will start no prob. But if yer battery is weak or the charge system isn't workin correctly... ya turn the ignition key and... click click click. Call the tow truck.😛

Well, I don't plan on using it without the car being in a running state anyway. Meaning it will power from the alternater. So it will be all good and fine.

My friend said his is generic and can be purchased at CompUSA (or similar places).

the power supply that comes with your laptop will be 120watts. so a 150watt power inverter should be fine and pretty cheap.

Yep, that would do... 200 watt would be ideal, I think. Up to you Matt.
