Car Inverter For Xps 16?

hey i going to buy a inverter for my car so i can charge and us my laptop in my car while i am on the road. the inverter i am getting has a max output of 175watts. does anybody know how much power in watts the xps 16 uses?thanks

 

Well it's going to be less than 175W. In fact, it's going to be less than 90W, closer to 65W if not lower. And that's at full load. At idle, you're not likely to pull more than 15W to 20W, if not lower again. Modern mid-range laptops really don't draw that much power.

 

I'm curious...Are these Car Inverters decently priced???
I've just never heard of a car inverter before.

You could buy the dell Auto Air power adapter. I bought it for my m1330 when my dog broke my origonal cord and it works wonders and whenever im low on the road just connect the adapter and drain my moms battery

 

i think its awesome for its price. you can change any car cigarette lighter into a power outlet. heres the one i am getting http://www.canadiantire.ca/browse/p...4443294147&assortment=primary&fromSearch=true

 

Nice, very nice... I never thought of something like this, if could very well be needed sometime! LoL..you drained your Mum's batt'?

Ok..it's kind of cool! Thanks!

only 1 she wasnt to upset thow

 

Well, that's a good thing!

Now, do you think you will be using this quite frequently with your new 1640?


Cin

 

Its only 65 not 90 so it cant power and charge the 1640 at the same time but ill try it and see if it works

 

Yes..I'm curious to see if it would work..but be careful..thats your brand spankin' new 1640 your testing it out on

I know. But im in the 30 day return period for dell canada so if anything goes. Ill have i replaced

 

Ahh, yes the *buffer*
I'm sure it will all be fine!
