Best way to power laptop ?
Best way to power laptop ?
13-09-2016, 03:11 AM
I want to be able to power my laptop in my car.
Do I:
A: Buy a power inverter 25 quid from Halfords and use that
B: Buy a new battery for my laptop at around 50 quid?
At the moment my battery only lasts about 20 mins max on full charge and buying a new battery would last around 4 hours on my laptop in power saver mode.
What do you think? are these power inverters as good as there sound? or do i just stick to a new battery?

I've got a power inverter and it works perfectly - cost £15 or 20 I think from Maplin and brilliant for charging a laptop, camera, phone, etc in the car - it's rated up to 150W so can power any small appliance nicely

Im going to use it to watch Criminal Minds at work on my 1 breaks in between overtime, as sad as it sounds, I need to take my mind off wanting to go home, and get as many hours in per day, this is an idea i came up, or maybe play Fifa10 or something

Noisy? As in like a buzzing or what? Haven't used mine in ages, but can't remember it making much noise?

just a buzzing sound, like a motor running or something, just read some reviews for it and most people, have said the same thing, so hopefully nothing to worry about
