Default 12 volt laptop

I have a compac 1700 which has a power cord that goes straight to it

I do know that some computers have a step-down converter that takes mains
voltage and brings it down to 13 volts so were that plugs into the computer
it only need 13 volts which will normally run on a 12 volt system, that is
what I am after.

Does any know which laptops run off 12 volt and therefore do not need an
inverter I think the old Toshiba one did

Lots of laptops have 12V power cords with the appropriate DC to DC
converter in them made to run them off a car battery. What kind do
you have, now?
