I have an inverter on our westie running off the auxiliary battery by direct
wires
it is 750W MAX SST 1500W Peak by Vector ...
this replaces a 500w that i toasted with an attempt to use the micro-wave
bad roger no treat ...

anyway we also have a mac book  pro with 200Gb Hard drive and 3 Gb RAM ...
17 inch screen
both inverters powered the MAcBook Pro Just fine and often while the cell
phone was charging ...

we also ran dvd's on it at night and there was never any concern generated
for equipment or gear...
one issue that did arise though was the glare of the screen on the window to
the right of the passenger ...
this was solved by using a paper bag which operated like a gusset on the lap
top ...
with htis in place i could see the mirror with out any trouble and ... the
bright shiny blue glow did not distract me any further
yours

There are two kinds of jobs in the world:
Picking up garbage and telling people things.
Successful people do both, with the same good attitude. (riw)
