Subject:Plug into lighter or OK to Power a Laptop W/ Inverter?

I was thinking about, that my laptop can't use the 12V of the car, I have to
use 120V of the inverter that my laptop will convert back down to it's low
DC of 16.5V or something like that, loosing energy in the process.  Is
threre a laptop that runs off the car's battery straight?
