As title says. I think my PC is using like a max of 500w when it's juicing but idles for less. I was thinking of using an ecoflow high grade setup for this. Anyone have experience doing something similar?

I might switch to a small micro tower setup by Dell or Lenovo that uses like 120w max. The new Mac minis seem to cap out at 39w though which is crazy.

A laptop with USB-C charging is probably the best option by far.

The setup would be solar panel ---wire---> battery -----usb-c cable -----> laptop.

This will be way more efficient than trying to power a full desktop setup.
