Since I've ONLY used HP or Dell laptops (in the last 20 years), I was unaware that ANY laptops run on 12V. 19V for the ones I've used.
They don't run on 12v. They are mostly 19v. However, you can buy 12v ADAPTERS for them that convert directly from 12v to 19v (or whatever is needed) without switching from DC to AC and back to DC. like an inverter would. That's why they save power (and are cheaper).
We're talking about $12 for an adapter (new, on ebay, including shipping).
