Tree Hugging Geek Dream – A Solar Powered PC

Posted in computers, hardware on Oct 12, 2007

Gizmodo has a post about a Lenovo Solar Powered PC. On the one hand, it’s got a pretty high geek factor – a solar powered PC! But then I got to thinking, who has sunlight where their PC is (on the office or at home)? So now I have to move my desk by the window or something? In addition, if there is enough sunlight to power the PC, doesn’t that mean it will also be harder to see my monitor? The post says it can come with an “optional solar panel”, so maybe you can mount it outside or by your window or something – and then run the cord back to the PC. Well – it’s a step in the right direction anyway!
