Not so much "SFF" as it is just being minimalist in nature, how feasible is it to have a "good enough" PC experience off the grid?
Let's say hypothetically that you were prepping for military/economic disasters and trying to make yourself completely independent of money beyond initial equipment costs.
To be free of electricity bills you would go completely solar powered.
To be free of property tax you would squat someplace well hidden in a state/national park...
...that is lucky enough to have free Wi-fi for atleast some level of internet connection.
What kind of PC would be ideal for that situation? Would it be best to get a low power laptop that uses integrated graphics so that you can run off its battery? Or would it be possible to run a NUC-like system + Monitor off some kind of battery so you can use it whenever the sun isn't shining? Personally the laptop seems to be the better option to me, but make sure to have some spare peripherals in-case the laptops's were to break. How good of a solar panel would you need to power a laptop charger, phone charger, LED light bulb. IDK if a fridge or pump would be feasible.
