Which is better for charging a laptop?

The Anker. Its 300W output and fast charging suit USB-C laptops better than the Jackery's 140W. The Jackery's AC outlets help only if your charger plugs into a wall socket.

Can the Anker run a small fan or mini fridge?

No. The Anker SOLIX C300 DC has no AC outlets, so AC appliances will not plug in. The Jackery's five 110V outlets can run small AC devices within its 140W limit.

Which has the bigger battery?

The Jackery states 288Wh. Anker does not list a capacity for the C300 DC, so you cannot compare runtime from the specs alone.

Which is easier to carry?

The Jackery at 5.5 lb is lighter than the Anker at 2.8 kg (about 6.2 lb). The Anker is more compact in shape.

Is the Jackery worth the price gap?

Its lowest recent price was $39.95 on 2026-11-05, well below its $188.10 high on 2026-11-02. At the low end it is a strong value for AC outlets; near the high end, compare against the Anker's live price first.

Do both charge from solar?

Yes. Both list solar as a power source, so either can pair with a solar panel for off-grid charging.
