I got some advice from the starlink group (I will be running star link mini, laptop, charging phone) for some digital nomad advice and i think I've narrowed it down. The power goes out in my house more than I'd like so I'd also probably use it as backup power in my house fairly frequently too.

I'm open to other suggestions but these seem to be a decent price range for me right now and i really want to be able to charge via solar too.

I'm between the bluetti elite v2 with 200w solar ($629), anker solix c1000 solar generator with 200w solar panel ($599), and the jackery explorer 1000 v2 with solar saga 200w ($649). Any experience on which one might be the most durable (better solar panel charging, takes drops/wear and tear better, more overall charges and drains on battery for the life of the machine, quickest recharge while driving, less hassle with cords breaking, customer support, warranties, etc)?

Thanks in advance for the help friendly more knowledgeable people! Ready, set, reddit :)

So full disclosure i am not very tech savvy. AC/DC is a band not electrical components if u catch my drift. I'm hoping for a simple answer but whatever help is appreciated.

Im trying to find a good power bank (ideally something that could be charged solar but budget is about $400-600 USD right now so i dont know if that is realistic) to power a star link mini, laptop, and charge a phone while driving around the U.S. and camping out of my car/nearby.

Does anyone have any guidance/links for good ideas? I know that things like AC/DC will be important on power drain, ill need to know about watts/amps eventually, etc. but im just a little lost between the normal phone charging power banks and pass through current solar powered high end stuff and what is rly necessary/what it all means.

I just need something that works for a full 8 hr day on 1 charge for both star link and a laptop and id like to not have to buy something twice because i didnt do research beforehand or tried to save $200. Is that possible?

Any advice helps and i appreciate it in layman's terms because electricity is a tough concept for me to grasp. Thanks in advance for the help, articles, links, and realistic expectations. Ready, set, reddit :)

So thank you everyone who posted already! I think im between the bluetti elite v2 with 200w solar ($629), anker solix c1000 solar generator with 200w solar panel ($599), and the jackery explorer 1000 v2 with solar saga 200w ($649). Any experience on which one might be the most durable since im not very nice to my things? The power goes out in my house more than id like too so id also probably use it as backup power in my house fairly frequently. Thanks!
