    Im looking for a car adapter for the Asus F3JP. Id prefer to buy it from newegg, seeing as thats where Im ordering my laptop from tonight. None of them on there say that theyre specifically for the F3JP, but does anyone know if any of them would work with it?

    How about using a compact power inverter? Choose one that rates high enough for your power brick.

    The 'sweet spot' (highest efficiency, best battery life) is about 120% of your power bricks rating. 150 watt inveter for 120 watt power supply for example.

    Alright... well im a little confused. Here is what the specs on the power adapter of the F3JP say:

    AC Adapter Output: 19 V DC, 65W
    Input: 100— 240V AC, 50/60Hz universal

    So how would i figure out my input wattage?
