[Ham-Computers] Running laptop mobile?

Here's my question.  Is it better to 'try' to get a 'factory' 12 Volt DC 
adapter for my Acer Laptop (not sure they offer one), or just get a 
12V/110Volt inverter in the 100 Watt class?  The laptop's power supply is 
supposedly good from 95-230 Volts,inclusive, and draws 65 Watts, so I don't 
think regulation would be a problem.  Don't have an immediate need for 
portability, but just looking down the road. . .

What do the 'experts' say?
