Keep in mind for either one you will still need to find a power supply. Laptop chargers as long as they are >6A and 12V and ATX power supplies both work great.
I have that charger but it only changers at 50w vs 150w on the other one(Meaning on a 12v battery it will charge up to 4.1 amps on the 50w or 12.5 amps on the 150w) A boat battery makes a great portable power source.
