Laptops are always fighting heat build-up. Lowering the voltage will increase
the amps and overheat the fans, hard drive, and maybe the CPU. Better to buy a
car converter from the laptop manufacturer or ?Lind? an independent adapter
builder. Or, there are 12V to xxV transformers out there.

Subject: [Liveaboard] 12v computer
Does any one run their laptop directly from the house mains? The output from
my power brick says 17 volts, but the internal battery supplies 14.4 which most
likely drops to less than 13.8 when under load - so nominal ~13v dc aught to
run it. Question is where to make the connection. Just plug into the power
inlet in the back like the brick does?
Any problems with this hook--up?
