Finally -- after years of solar bags capable of charging small gadgets like iPods and mobile phones, a company has developed one able to power laptops.
Launched at annual gadget-fest show Eclipse Solar Gear have suffered from only being able to output less than 10W. The Generator, by contrast, can do 14.7W -- enough to charge a standard laptop.
The bag goes on sale later this spring and should set you back £300. Even with the bonus of a weak dollar, that's still a lot of cash to splash for a solar bag -- most existing ones have come in between £100 and £150.
Like Voltaic's recent addition of bags made from recycled plastic bottles, this one comes supplied with a bunch of adaptors including ones for USB, car chargers and major mobile phone brands so you can plug in your kit.
Watch this space -- we'll get our hands on a Generator as soon as possible. If it's anywhere near as good as the recycled slimline Conveter bag we're testing at the moment, it should be a corker.
