I went into best buy to see if they had any type of car chargers for laptops. I saw different types of wattage, but i wasnt sure which one to get. So is this the best route to go because im trying 2 get my carputer project started......

Get one specific for your make and model laptop to avoid any problems.

Look on the bottom of your laptop, or on your laptop's wall charger, to find out the DC voltage and amperage your laptop requires. If, for example, it said 19V 3.6A, then you would need to find a universal charger at Best Buy that supplies 19V and at least 3.6A (it could be higher amperage, like 4A or 4.5A).

You can also buy an inverter and use your wall charger with it.
