    Why plug in your laptop when you could juice it up with the sun instead! Designer Andrea Ponti’s design called the Luce, which in Italian sums up to “Light”, powers up with solar energy, using the two solar panels integrated on its body. Well, the solar panels on the top sure seem a clever idea, though we couldn’t figure out why Ponti stuck solar panels on the bottom of this one too! The bottoms of our laptops are usually covered up the moment we place it on table surfaces or our laps for that manner. An entry at the Fujitsu Design Competition 2011, this solar powered laptop could do well with solar panels covering the surface of its keys instead.


    For now just a concept, the Luce design however could do well once perfected and will work out to be a perfectly sustainable way to computing!
