    Yeah, I had a look at the specs and I like that feature. I bought a cheap one as it's all I can afford at the moment. I'll be mounting mine so I can get to the main switch easily to turn it off when not required. Let us know how it goes as I will be in the market for a good one at some stage.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    After a lot of searching I found a reasonably priced unit that also had reasonable postage, so I ordered it.

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    I have always wanted a pure sin wave and as I said earlier I also wanted one that goes to sleep, so it can be left on continuously.

    If just for a laptop you do not need an inverter. Laptops run on DC. You just need a simple car adapter for the laptop power.

    My laptop requires 19 volts. The car adapters must step up the voltage using an internal inverter.

    I'd just buy a power park for your laptop that steps 12 volt DC to the required voltage for your laptop. Jaycar sell these..

    The are just simple dc voltage converters. Much cheaper than an inverter. Most laptops use 19 volts.
