What good is a 110 outlet if it can’t even power a laptop?

Of course it won't, it's basically a desktop PC. Look on the back, I'm guessing it draws 300-500W
Have you tried anything else, other than your power supply? Like I had mentioned before, we have run several things just fine on ours, including a XBox One S with no issues. You may have a faulty inverter, or maybe the Macbook power supply doesn't care for square wave power. Some electronic devices are much more sensitive to the input power than others.I disagree - when I plugged in my MacBook Pro (13 inch) POWER SUPPLY (w/out the laptop connected) the inverter light blinks and eventually faults! the sensitive is NOT in my laptop but rather in the f'in pos ford inverter

This was my experience recently as well. My laptop charger..135w appeared to work when vehicle was electronics on but not engine on. When engine on, it always faults out. I had used it previously with no issue, but realized since then that I did not have the engine on that time either. Was sitting in parking lot with windows down and working, but engine off.I have been following the inverter threads for a while. So yesterday I had my laptop plugged into the 110 outlet while riding in the front seat and working....Would not charge. We stopped to get some gas and I had just the electronics on without the engine and it started actually charging the computer. I don't know if there is something obvious I'm missing but I thought it was interesting. I guess maybe with all the extras running while driving, the battery might not have enough juice.
