Samsung to launch solar-powered laptop in US

We’ve featured Samsung’s shiny green solar powered laptop before, the NC215s. first launched in the Asian and African markets, given that these are the places that face maximum power outages, and any renewable-energy-powered portable device seems the best way to keep up with technology, the manufacturer is now planning to launch these in the United States too. The laptop features a 10” screen and sports solar panels on the outer side of the screen. Simply having this one exposed to the sun for a couple of hours helps it soak up enough juice to power up for a considerable time.

Costing $399, the NC215s seems to be a pretty reasonably sound and green buy, especially for those who’re constantly on the go or are seated in sunny-side offices.
