This story has nothing to do with eco friendly mobiles, but it’s nice to look at other areas of the electronic goods arena and see what’s going on, and here it is. Samsung have certainly entered the solar power market with a bang (remember the Samsung Earth green mobile) and are looking at introducing the technology further into their goods portfolio. Drum roll, the NC215S - that’s a solar powered laptop in layman’s terms. Running on Windows 7 and coming out in August, with the solar panels in the units lid, Samsung reckons you can get nearly 15 hours out of this baby.
Tekkie stuff is that it has a 10.1, 1024 x 600 display screen, runs on an Atom dual-core processor by Intel, has 1 GB of RAM, a 320 GB drive and it weighs in at 1.3kg. There are no prices on it yet and don’t be rushing down to your local store to snap on up as for some reason, known only to Samsung but its only available in Russia...
