To beard or not to beard

Arrived in the post yesterday - One Laptop Battery - thanks again ebay.
This one will last 2hours and 23mins compared to the old one which dies with 10mins to spare. On our travels will now be able to watch an occasional movie, write a book, manage our finances - or access the internet wherever we find a free hotspot.

We still need to buy either a Auto laptop charger (DC/DC adapter) or an DC/AC Power inverter. Apparently recent tests have shown that using a DC/DC adapter uses 30% less power than an inverter. Converting from DC (cigarette lighter) to AC (inverter) to DC (computer power cord) does sound a bit stupid.
But, an inverter can be used for powering superfluous household appliances like kettles, toasters, hairdryers, curling tongs and electric shavers.
Yes we could get both, but then I'd have nothing to write about, and wouldn't Daniel look great with a beard? Perhaps we need a new poll.
