    When using 12V DC power, has anyone tried powering a Razer notebook via 12V DC->DC converter, rather than 12V DC->AC inverter->AC to DC power brick? When off-grid it should be more efficient than using an DC->AC inverter and AC<->DC conversion losses.

    For example, the 2018 Razer Blade 14 GTX 1070 has a 230W power supply that outputs 19.5V at 11.8A. In addition to finding a DC->DC converter for the rated output, getting a reasonably priced Razer power connector would seem to be the most difficult part.
