Well ...
Being ultra safety concious, I bought a Compaq brand inverter. (I had a Compaq Laptop at that time)
It converts 12vDC to 110 volts AC (American standard).
It cost more than my latest Notebook.
But that was 10 years ago.
I would not suggest that is the way to go now.
Any Pure Sinewave inverter should be fine.

But I do like the idea of a 12vDC to whatever vDC power converter, especially if it comes with the particular plug for your laptop.
That should be the most efficient way to do it.
