BTW, two of the laptops are my Grandkids and we are going to Europe in two weeks. Didn't want anyone to think I would be using all three myself!

My question is, if for some reason one of the specific adaptors fail, can I use the inverter for any of the laptops?

The specs for the Inverter state:
Output rated power: 120W
Continuous: 150W Max

TIA,
Lydia
As long as each of your laptops uses less than 120 watts, yes.

Note that airline power outlets will turn off if you plug in something that tries for more than 75 watts.
