Since May 11th, Twitters and Blogs have been flooded with news about Samsung's Solar Powered Notebooks due to Samsung's unveiling of a netbook (Samsung NC215) at the Africa Regional Forum in Nairobi.
The netbook is supposed to be completely usable off the grid and just needs the sun to charge its batteries. Imagine using this notebook in remote places, while traveling and even around town without the extra weight of adapters like the other netbooks.
Thanks to Samsung's notebook brand manager Mr KM Chew for allowing me to take a few pictures. More about the capabilities are still strictly under lock and key.
The netbook. Easily spotted with the large solar panel covering the whole front cover.
The top cover/screen is not made any more thicker than normal netbooks.
On the right, the usual notebook lock, VGA out, USB ports and Audio ports
Netbook sized keyboard, island keys, nice layout
On the left, power for quick charging, RJ45 port and USB
You saw it first on JL's Gadget Blog!
