It would make a lot more sense to include a 110V ac outlet (using an
inverter) instead of the 12V/24V plug. That way you can use the
standard wall connector and not have to worry about carrying special
adaptors.


Do you have any idea how much power that would require, and the cost of the
inverter for a good sized, powerful laptop computer?

With the inefficiency of most inverters, at least 1000 watt, and the price
goes into hundreds of dollars.

What? I have a 150 watt inverter that works just fine for
recharging/running laptops, PDA's, cell phones, etc. It's an all in one
unit, no separate cord and device. About $20 at Walmart.
