If you were sent back to the roman era and could only bring a backpack of goods. What would you bring?

    You can buy small foldable solar panels, and it’s a laptop so it’s not like the battery is big or heavy. I’m not sure why you’d need anything massive for a device that sips power, just take a normal laptop instead of a high end gaming one and it’ll draw like 30W.

      I’m not talking about the laptop battery. You need a lithium ion battery system and a power inverter for your solar panels. That’s heavy stuff.

        So how do small foldable solar panels that charge phones and the like work? Because I presume if they can charge a phone they can charge a laptop, given they aren’t really different.

          I’ve never tried those, but I can’t imagine they’d be very effective. Do you know anyone who’s ever tried those?
