Solar-powered Voltaic Generator laptop bag gets reviewed

December 19th, 2008 | Category: Gadget Corner

Voltaic’s Generator solar bag first hit the scene at CES 2008, and it has just now begun to filter out to deep-pocketed, environmentally-friendly laptop owners. The crew by at Laptop Mag was able to take it for a spin, and overall, they seemed a bit perturbed by the whole thing. It was not particularly ergonomic, it always fell by on itself when sitting idly on the floor and it was just too heavy to be lugged around with any level of comfort. Furthermore, there aren’t sufficient options for laptop connectivity, meaning that lots of society will probably be left in the cold due to the limited support for notebook

models. Reviewers felt that $499 was simply too much to ask for such a cumbersome device, and whether two hours of additional life is worth that much to you, you’re probably better off buying another battery and donating the rest to a green cause.
