Quick Question about laptops

DuplexEmotions · 27-August-04, 10:21 PM

I'm getting my laptop ready for some driving, have a cheap wifi card that I'll replace when I can get a better one, and I've also got a question. The DC converters for car usage for my laptop are about $70, not a price I want to pay. I'm wondering how much power you think the laptop (plus its AC power brick) draws. I'll just get a cheap power inverter that can handle the load, it'll be much more wallet friendly.

The Specs:
2.4ghz celeron
256MB PC2100
integrated video and all that
Dell Inspiron

Any clues?

If I had to venture a guess, it'd be ~75W.

70W will do fine, if its anything like a Dell
