I have several different ones, but the one I use for my laptop is from 
Harbor Freight, it was on sale for $9, normally $19. An all-in-one unit 
like a fat cellphone charger, no cord, just plugs into the cigarette 
lighter socket and has one outlet on it. It is rated 60/100W and is 
adequate for most laptops unless what you have is one of those desktop 
replacements. It also powers my inkjet printer but not at the same time.

Cheerful regards,

Bob
