Solar Powered Laptops

smitty777 writes "Greentech is running a story on a solar powered laptop concept. The device was created by industrial designer Andrea Ponti, and includes a solar panel on the outside of the case as well as one below the keyboard. The idea seems to be taking shape; Samsung has a design they've been developing as well."

Just silly. A 150W solar panel costs $530 and is a square meter in area: http://www.ecrater.com/p/5169726/sunflex-grade-a-150w-mono-solar# It's too big and too expensive even without the extra battery.
