[nebun]

why don't they just call it a netbook?

 

[JamesSneed]

or SolBook?

 

[lassik]

It'll be the 'Firebook' if you leave it in the sun for 14 hours.

 

[Ciuy]

Just leave it on bench, go to work and when you return its Fully Charged as the Tesla Troops in RA3 say

 

[liveonc]

Just needs to use ARM, Win8, & transflective LCD.

or found it missing LOL

 

[docken02]

In Soviet Russia laptop charges you.

 

[cleide]

why they only make it in netbook not in all devices like laptop and packet pc or etc....

 

[vaughn2k]

In Russia? There is barely a sunrise there..

 

[milktea]

Using the solar netbook out in the Sun? No thanks, I don't want to get a sunburn!

 

[vider]

I just don't get it, why go with an Intel solution on a device like this one, if an AMD solution would be MUCH better (when it comes to performance), why?

 

[WR2]

Right. TN glossy LCD panel to go with that solar panel.

Damn that's a good name. Firebook. I'm trademarking and copyrighting it now. Firebook TM. Firebook C.

In order to secure the word as a trademark you will have to actually produce a product containing the mark and distribute it.

Impressive netbook, I would like to see a 15” version with bigger solar panels and with AMD’s Brazos.

 

[DSpider]

Good thing they've made it black. Black doesn't overheat in direct sunlight. Oh, wait...

 

[cookoy]

if the solar panel at the back of the lid can be tilted to capture more direct sunlight, then the extra power can be used to operate the fan to cool the netbook

because AMD's performance doesn't add up...take a look at all their cpus....from what i have seen Intel's cpus perform better

 

[wildwell]

Why just Africa and maybe Russia? This could sell in many countries!

Brazos stomps on the Atom, even when it's paired with an Ion chip. Tom's did a review on it here a while back. You Intel boys need to do your homework before posting drivel like this.

True. For the Brazos stomps atom part. Gotcha.

would be cool if the electricity generated would be added to the LCD. That way, when you're in the dark, the screen looks dark, but when you go into daylight, the added energy goes to the screen brightness, and you perceive that the screen remains just as light compared to it's environment as before. Kind of a cheap and efficient auto brightness control!
