I will be serving in Zambia for the Peace Corps and would like to bring a gaming capable ultra-book. My question is whether they can be charged on Thunderbolt? Their will be no electricity so I will have a solar setup top get power. This consists of: Car battery/Solar Panels/Power converter. Or I could buy a solar battery prior to leaving the States. I cannot purchase a laptop that requires more than 100w to charge. ( a power brick or something, I'm not well-versed in laptops) If y'all have any suggestions for ultra-books that fit my needs i would greatly appreciate the help. :)

Yes, this is possible. Do you have a budget in mind? What country do you live in?

Hey, if I might suggest, why not consider a nintendo switch? They charge via USB-C and will likely give you a better gaming experience if you're not plugged into a wall.

The new Dell XPS 15 is your absolute best bet, hands down. ?

Powerful specs usually requires >100W. Is USB C charging really a must though, this will heavily limit your options

Desktop specs:
