IBM T4* users: quick power inverter question

[LordSnailz]

How do I find out what's the min. wattage I need for T41 system. Road trip coming up, I wanted to get a power inverter to watch some movies on the laptop.

TIA!

Stock Power Adapter is 72 watts. You *can* use less, but its not reccomended. Charges your batter slower, and i dunno how safe it is.

Voltage isn't your concern, you need to worry about the wattage.

You can pull ~150W through a standard lighter socket.

[EDIT]I could have sworn it said voltage...[/EDIT]

One is "name brand"

I asked because one was in the 'Transformer' category and the other was in the 'Notebook Accessories' category, both will work right?
