Sol, the $350 solar-powered rugged Ubuntu laptop that wont be usable in the sun

2013-08-06 16:29:22| Extremetech

If you're gifted with independently manipulable eyebrows, now would be the time to raise a single brow. An inventor in Canada claims to have created a solar-powered Ubuntu laptop that can run directly from power generated by its built-in solar panels, or recharge its 10-hour battery with just two hours of sunshine. If that wasn't enough, the laptop -- pretentiously dubbed Sol -- is ruggedized for military and off-road use and you also get built-in GPS, Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi, and 3G/4G LTE. The best bit, though, is the price: The Sol will cost just $350.
