Can I use Mbox in a truly mobile way, like out in the desert where there is no place to plug in my laptop's power supply?

Yes, but you should bring extra batteries for your laptop. Mbox draws a significant amount of current over the USB bus, and will drain your laptop's battery relatively quickly.
