I think the power inverter 12V is available this week like Can$29
Yes, that will be lots. I have one and I've used it for hours with my full-size 15" Acer laptop.
Be aware that it runs pretty hot. Make certain that you set it somewhere that the top and bottom are not blocked and can get full airflow. It needs good convection airflow, so be religious about that or you'll be sorry. I made the mistake of setting mine on the seat on top of a t-shirt so there was no airflow from the bottom. After half an hour it was almost too hot to touch.

Thanks. I bought that in Can Tire $23 . It marks that it is ok with laptop and even small dustbuster. Just wait for some advice to open it or I have to return it. Good advice

Daniel, I also use a 175 Watt inverter, but with a slightly bigger laptop plus some accessories. If 175 Watts is enough for me, it should be just fine for your Acer Aspire One.
