We’ve seen solar-powered laptop cases and even a crazy Apple patent that suggested sun powered back lighting, but this is a concept that could change computing as we know it. The “IMEC meets Howest” is claimed to be the first laptop which relies completely on the power of the sun. Energized by two solar panels, no electricity source is needed to run this fully-functioning portable computer.
This looks like it would be ideal for lounging around in the park on a gorgeous spring day without the worry of running out of juice. Best of all, no more lugging around spare batteries.
