This may be a nit, but, you will _NEVER_ see AC power at any, let alone

Into which the laptop user plugs the inverter he has in his carry-on
that he bought for use in the rental car, producing 115vac (240 if from
Europe). Into this he plugs the laptop SMPS, into which he plugs the
laptop. Horribly inefficient, but that's the way Joe Sixpack does it.
He probably doesn't have much of a choice.
It's a pity that laptop makers don't either design their machines to
operate on a nominal 13.8 VDC or sell a relatively inexpensive and
commonly available 13.8-to-[whatever DC voltage the laptop uses on
whatever oddball connector they use that seems to be unique to that make
and model and likely serial number and unavailable anywhere].
