    Is there a car adapter I can purchase locally for my z60m?

    On Saturday, we are traveling about 6 hours round trip, plus another four hours down time, to see my nephew graduate and I thought I'd bring my Thinkpad along and get some homework done on the drive. :D

    As I'm new to this (z60's scheduled to arrive on Friday via Fed Ex) I am clueless as to all the goodies one can purchase to go along. I'd like to know if there is an adapter that fits into the cigarette lighter; just like those for a mobile phone.

    Thanks!!!

    By the way, they'll have them at any local computer store or Radio Shack.

    I just found it at Walmart as well. Thank you. By looking at the wattage listed on the bottom, do you mean the bottom of the laptop? Sorry, I realize that sounds pretty dumb but since I don't have the laptop yet, I can't be sure. The Walmart power inverter looks to be the same one you linked here; by Targus at 90 Watts. Anyone have the z60m that could tell me if this will be compatible?

    Thanks!!! This is exactly what I was hoping to find!

    T-series use 71watt IIRC, I don't own a Z.

    I got a 400watt inverter at pepboys for ~$20.
