your laptop typicly will require more than just 12 V DC to run, my laptop personally requires about 14.5 to register and to charge but the adapter runs at around 19 (through testing using, get this, AA 2.2 amp batteries). There may be some laptops that would use less but the cost of the regulators to regulate down to 11 V DC or Lower at the laptops required amperage could be more expensive and more troublesome than the inverter, plus with the inverter you could run more stuff.
