    Hi guys. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but in a few weeks I'll be ordering the Asus M50Sa-AK023C from Newegg and I have been looking all over for a car charger compatible with the M50 Laptops. Does anyone know where I can find one? I don't have a problem ordering it online. Thanks.

    You will need a power inverter. It will take the 12volt DC source from your cigarette lighter and amplify the voltage to 120v ac current, which your laptops power supply can use. You will need to buy a power inverter which can putput more than the wattage of the power supply your laptop uses.
    I recommend getting a 200-250 watt power inverter, so that you can run your laptop and phone chargers and such all at the same time.
    I bought mine from Northern Tool, they sell the high end Vector Power inverters. You should be able to get a good one for about $30-40.

    Something like this will be perfect:
