Depends on your laptop. A lot run propriatory connectors so universal stuff won't work. If you have one that does, then Maplin sell a few
including this one: -

Or of course e-bay.

I got one from maplins for my laptop, tried it out today and works great. As for the socket i'd get a marine one, comes with a rubber flap to
cover it up when not in use to stop water getting in

it moral.

That one from ebay will not work as it doesnt have the right connector for the dell. You might be better off finding a tranformer that you can plug
the regular charger into.
Do a search on google for "12v dc to 220v ac power inverter"

I beg to differ.
Most laptop PSUs pull 1.5amps plus. Which means you need at least a 350w invertor.
The major downside is that the inverters pull almost 20-25amps at that power so a normal ciggy lighter wont run them.
