Concept for a sun-worshipping laptop

Tired of your notebook running out of battery when you are out and about? Design firm Nikoladesign has a concept that may one day solve that problem.

For the most part, this notebook looks pretty much like your regular portable computer. The difference is it has an extra flap which acts as a solar panel for converting light to power, according to Tuvie.

This could come in useful for researchers and scientists who work outdoors as the places they operate in won't have conveniently located power sockets. If this ever gets made, sunblock lotion may become a new laptop accessory.

Does it have a sunshade as well?

Damned if the bloody LCDs on [i]my[/i] particular notebooks aren't so nearly impossible to see in bright sunlight...exactly the perfect time to pull out a PV panel, I might add.
