Hey Guys,
I have an Asus G53SW-XN1. I will be traveling a lot by plane and car. I would like to use my laptop on those long trips. Would a 150 watt inverter be enough to power my laptop?
Like the title says, i need something to play league of legends. Would be awesome if I could play BF3 on low as well. My budget right now is $600 as i will probably get a dedicated gaming lappy in around 6 months.

So i am on the fence about upgrading, i have 2 foreseeable options.
First option is to keep the current system and just get an SSD like the OCZ Vertex 60 or 120GB (Bootable). approx ($205 - $420)
or
Upgrade the CPU/Mobo/Mem and keep the rest. approx ($650)
my main question is it...
