There are different power solutions for laptops and desktops. For Mini ITX or Nano ITX boards we can use DC to DC PSU, which can be installed inside the pc enclouser to power the desktop. For laptops we can use either inverter and use the OEM laptop adapter to power it or can use DC to DC Laptop power adapter.
What I believe in your port you are talking about overloading the car battery. Not really, it will not overload the car battery to run car pc. Most car pcs require 80 Watt to 150 Watts to operate(depending upon the HWs you install). I believe the car battery can handle this. Most of the people who are installing a car PC are using the same car battery to run the car PC and some people are installing a second battery for more backup time. Installing a second battery can overload the alternator of Car. Engine Gurus can throw some light into this.
