Paul, look up Jackery units, minimum the 500w with the panels.
Portable but will cover laptop and charging cell phones.

Thanks for your reply, but that's not the direction I am

I don't know if you're familiar with MSDOS, but I spent
a lot of effort to reproduce the equivalent of that on a
Smartphone. You can see it here:

While in the Philippines I spent 1-2 months living purely
off solar for my computing. But I had a 100W solar at the
time - portable via hand-carry, not backpack. And I used
an ARM-based laptop, the Pinebook Pro:

with screen brightness turned way down. I had the brightness
very low on my smartphone too. And I can do other things
like restrict my computing to night time if necessary.

Good luck! What's the plan for the laptop? Trying to fill a powerbank
of any size at 40w will be painful.
It's an odd wish considering food is the least consideration. One can live without computers but one cannot live without food.
