I hear what you are saying, but having a regulator between the batteries and the laptop/device is still probably a good idea.

An inverter and regulator are two different things. and inventer will waste a lot of engery but may include a regulator. you don't need one to have the other. You can get inventors without regulators. and regulators without inverters.

Yup, I know - that is why I said a regulator, not an inverter. Though your point on changing voltage is definitely one to consider as well.

Exactly, and with the rise in solar, I am surprised that there are not products on the market.

I just checked and the iGo I had is no longer made and that companies new solutions are not as flexible.

Solar and computers is a fun project and topic.

As a Amateur Radio operator, most of my radios and such run on 12v. I use an older laptop that is also 12v.. which aren't to many of these days.

Easier to power

Apparently, I've been picked with a lucky number, lol... anda he's waiting anxiously on the other tab for my bank account information.

Step 1 - ask where/how to find bank account info
Step 2 - ask where to put lucky number on bank website to get the money

dafyre

I'd rather them mail me a check. If they really are from Facebook, they'll have the address on my account... which may or may not be completely 100% accurate.

Really obvious that Spanish is not this guy's first language. Even in Spanish this is pretty painful. All kinds of bad punctuation, non-Western turns of phrase, crazy yelling.... http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1186749-saludos
