I ran my set-up on an el cheapo generator for over a year and it worked fine. Switch mode power supplies are quite forgiving.
The unit in question was from Repco and I believe it cost less than $200. I didn't buy it so I can't tell you for sure. Anyway it worked fine running my Tak mount an STL-11000m a desktop computer a computer monitor and two small CRT televisions. It was rated to 1000w peak and could run all that stuff. It was on the limit but did it, so a laptop and mount ect is nothing.
Many gens have a 12v output which is an option for you to charge your batteries during the day and have quiet at night.
I have stepped up to a 2kW unit from Honda which was not cheap but has true inverter sine wave output. I got sick of messing around with 2 stroke oil etc the Honda is four stroke and starts more easily.
