Brunton Solar Panels

Will a portable solar panel fry, charge, or do nothing for my laptop?
I’m about to embark on a two-month long retreat in the woods. I would like to be able to charge a Dreamwriter IT (old academic laptop / info here: http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/wce/21/dreamwriterit.htm) without having to walk into town every day. The Dreamwriter runs on a 7.2V NiMH rechargable 6-cell battery.
I am looking at getting a portable solar panel by Brunton. The one I am looking at comes in three sizes, which (respectively) provide:
Max output: 4.5 watts (15.4 Volts / 300 mA)
Max output: 9watts (15.4 Volts / 600 mA)
Max output: 14 watts (15.4 Volts / 900 mA)
Will any one of these do the job? Are they all too powerful? Not powerful enough?
Thank you!
anyone of those will do as long as you have a comverter and plenty of light
