No, most of the jaycar stuff is "modified sine wave", not suitable for driving AC motors or mains transformer gear. Only a few of their inverters produce pure sine wave outputs suitable for any equipment. Having said that a computer switchmode supply should work fine off even a cheap inverter with a square wave output. Jaycar also make a DC-DC switchmode power adapter for laptops, not terribly cheap as essentially it is an inverter that produces DC outputs instead of 230V AC.
