I need to find the best solution for running my laptop off the car juice, my battery only last about 10 min after removing house current. What are the best ways to operate it. Thanks

the inverters work (400watt) and run about 50 at lowes /Homedepot but are noisy with the fan.

there are adapters just for dell laptaps , try ebay
i got this one for mine , great seller

for mine i just shaved the very bottom of the plug because it didnt have the groove for the xpi but it works great and no fan so no noise
just unplug the wired in lead to the unit when not using (both in and out cable plug into adapter body )
 
Paul, I found one on ebay from the same guy. So it will power my inspiron 4150 from the car lighter? Thanks
