Default Laptops and power outlets

Has anyone used a laptop with the dash power outlets? The Owners Manual states you should not plug in anything that draws more than 20 amps. I don't know how much my laptop draws so I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this.

Thanks.

Just look on the power adapter of your laptop, it will tell you how many amps it draws. I use a Dell XPS M1710 and it only draws 2.5 amps on the power adapter. You should be fine.
