You know when you do a search for say laptops - you get a whole bunch of stuff coming up actually over 500 posts. In the Faq I didn't really see much about laptops per se maybe there could be one topic for that - just a thought and observation from a nebbie
I'm far from being an old hand here, but I'm also an experienced forum member in other venues. As a counterpoint, I'd like to offer that the first reply said to look at the faq.
The very first faq that appears on the pull-down menu discusses the difference between DC-DC converters and inverters (the question asked).
I hate to sound pedantic, but...if a person doesn't know that the only real differences between a laptop and a desktop is expandability (less for a laptop) and a built-in UPS (of sorts - the laptop's battery), then honestly don't you think a carPC project is probably past their skill level anyway?
