It would be good to find a reliable laptop that can run off vehicle

Slides 213 and 214 in this link show an inverter that we have
successfully used with Thinkpads. The low power unit shown is the only
one in this product line to consider -- W6GJB bought a larger one that
is far too noisy to use.

Since then, W6GJB has found an inverter that's pretty quiet. For years,
we have used several of my Thinkpads of different vintage in our
multi-op CQP and 7QP county expeditions. We run both fixed and mobile in
7QP, fixed in CQP. I've pinged him for info on that unit.
The NUC computers (no screen, no keyboard) with the least processor
power run on 12V, and are used in some fixed contesting stations. I
don't know their noise profile.
