Default Car Adaptor for Laptop

Hello

Can anyone recommend a car adaptor (i.e. into the lighter socket) for a laptop? There seems to be lots of them ranging from £19.99 to over £100!

I have a HP NC6000 with a power rating of 18.5V/3.5A.

Thanks,

Steve

Yes, something like that... I think mine's a little bigger though, 300W I think. I got it from Maplin a few years ago (can't see it listed there now though). I think it was £20.

I've seen somewhere recently selling the same sort of thing; if I remember where, I'll let you know.

I bought mine from ALDI £15, use it in the HGV, better than a road map, plus when on Break or loading I watch a movie
