    I'm going on vacation from Illinois to Florida in a couple weeks and I wanted to know if there's a product I can buy which will keep my laptop charged while I'm in the car. I wanted to also have my screen be on with the higher lighting settings because when my E1705 starts to run on battery, it gets optimized and the power is dimmed to conserve energy etc...

    Basically, I need something which I can use to plug my laptop into a car so I can keep my laptop with energy.

    Would something like this work.... -> http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=A0406008
    Or this, I'm not sure... http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=A0098237

    The 90W from Dell would be okay, but the Targus one will not provide enough power.
