Solar Blvd sells 12V "kits" that you can use as portable, but I don't think much of them. Cheaper than "solar suitcase" from Renogy but panels are same mono and controller is same bottom of the barrel.
It boils down to how much quality you want vs cost and your DIY skills.
Medium cost, low-watt panel, low-end controller, no labor - get Renogy suitcase.
Same or higher cost, higher watts, low-end controller, plus DIY work to make legs and/or hinges if you use 2 smaller panels rather than single bigger one - get those kits.
Unknown cost, better performance, DIY work - get poly panel, decent PWM controller and wires.
Eco "suitcase" in poly version sounds unreasonably expensive.
Oh yeah, and get a USB stick and simple program like Second Copy, to backup your files on laptop - at least the folder named "Solar" :)
