other stuff like digital camera charging and other small appliances.
$60-$70 will get you a 300W continuous /600W surge, which is way more
than you need (check the power rating on the power cube that comes with
the laptop.  Mine says 1.5A @ 120V, which is less than 200W. >>

   I found an inverter with the same power rating for $27.98 at a Sam's
Club� In Atlanta.
Sam's also carries Champion group 41 batteries for less than $50.
