Power Inverter question

I'm thinking about getting a power inverter for my car so I can power my laptop.
I stopped at a truckstop and they had models ranging from 100 to 300 watts.

Anybody have any idea what I would need to run a standard laptop?

it should say on the power supply for your laptop. My Macbook Pro (the biggest one they make) has an 85W power supply.

Bigger is better if you decide you ever want to plug something else into it.

Thanks. I just checked my Power supply and the print is so small I'm going to need a magnifying glass to read it.
