Laptop power question

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if the "
BESTEK 300W Power Inverter DC 12V to 230V AC Converter with AC Outlet and 4.8A Dual USB Car Charger"

Is okay to use with my laptop I've just bought from OC "ASUS TUF FX505DT NVIDIA GTX 1650, 8GB, 15.6" 120Hz, AMD R5-3550H Gaming Laptop"

Will be using it to power from 12v connection in a van. Basically is 300w going to cut it?

Sorry for the format of this list I'm on my mobile and cant fix!

300w
I would hope so
What's the watts on the charger the laptop came with?

Good question.. 120watts, that should be fine then?

No expert
But the original charger will run the laptop if the battery was taken out
So 120w
Vs 300w
Cant see why would not work
Though not sure about needing any sort of surge protector just in case
Though that's possibly built in to the inverter anyway

I can confirm this worked all well today, however I've now got a problem with the touchpad I posted a new thread in the laptop section. Thanks for your help.
