Could This Be The First Solar Powered Laptop?

[Vyom]

While there are plenty of solar-powered peripherals that plug into your laptop to boost its battery power, we haven’t yet seen a model that runs solely on solar. Industrial Designer Andrea Ponti‘s concept for the Luce Solar Panel Powered PC could become the greenest laptop ever made.

The computer has two solar panels: One on the back of the monitor and one underneath a touch keyboard. Ideally, the two panels would be able to power the computer continuously, though it’s unclear whether this has been successfully tested. Using a laptop in the sun is far more battery intensive than indoors since the screen brightness needs to be cranked up to compete with the sun’s bright light.

PS: Apart from this being a Solar Power Laptop, it's Looks are Stunning too!

Even that future may not be that far... Apple is too working on the same concept... Here's what above article said about Apple...

Last year Apple filed a patent for “harnessing external light to illuminate a display screen.”
In Apple’s vision, a reflector could fold down to brighten the display, and the company is rumored to be looking at integrating solar cells as well.

Sleek and sexy look. If only we could know what's outside it. But the moment people will notice that it is solar powered (green) they will regret their decision thinking green = expensive and suckish.

Looks like this is just a concept design

Why would they regret? Only people who wants to go Green, would probably buy it.
