Solar Powered Laptop Bag/Briefcase!
Solar Powered Laptop Bag!
For the ultimate mobile computing these days, you need to carry a solar panel with you to charge on the go. But here’s a solar powered laptop bag that will allow you to get extra solar power without the hassle of carrying a big, lousy solar panel with you.
Using high-efficiency solar cells, this bag charges a laptop, cell phone, and most other handheld electronics. The solar panel generates enough power to fully charge a typical laptop from a day of direct sunlight. It includes a battery pack, which stores the charge and automatically converts it to the required output voltages. Common adaptors are included, and other devices can connect via USB or a car charger. Holds up to a 17″ laptop inside a protective case.

Not sure if anyone realizes that this unit is not that powerful.. If you really need something that works great for charging/running laptops.. then you need a Solar Laptop Charger & Portable Power Kit 200 Watt: http://www.earthtechproducts.com/p2580.html
I have one of these and it works great.

@ John Saltzman:
I don’t think the issue is so much that the Voltaic Generator is powerful, based on it’s listed specs it would actually be a great unit. The real issue here is that Voltaic has still not released the Generator yet, after much hype and excitement.
I’ve looked at the Solar Charger Kit you linked above and while it provides great power, it’s not portable at all. I saw an alternative called the SolarGorilla at another site: Ecogeekliving.com. It looks like a new product, and there’s been some buzz about it on other green blogs (ie. Treehugger).
