Green Up Your MacBook Air
Coming on the heels of Apple's solar-powered patent is a laptop charger that sucks juice solely from the sun. This device, unfortunately named "Apple Juicz" (which sounds, to me, like Apple Jews), folds small, unfolds huge, nabs solar rays, and charges your MacBook Air.
Naturally it's expensive. $500 for an 18-watt = 14 hours to charge. $600 for a 27-watt = 8 hours to charge. $1000 for a 55-watt = 5 hours to charge. So if you're all sorts of business tycoon and need your laptop charged RIGHT NOW, you'll drop the equivalent to half of another MacBook Air. Oh, and you'll need a power adapter, running you between $25 and $100.
Oh, and you'll need a lot of space, too. The 55-watt model unfolds to 5 feet by 3.5 feet. That's, uh, huge. Try plastering that thing to the window of your Acela train.
But whatever, right? You're saving the planet.
