I personally won't use a laptop in the sun, but if the panel is on a wire, it's a great deal more practical. Dan I think it’d be a much better design if they allowed the solar panel to detach.

I considered it to be useful, but shame on me! I find myself in the position to really need one and to actually yearn about a netbook, but guess what? I don’t have one and it makes me want to scream. And this is one that I would certainly take into consideration, if I intended to buy myself a netbook. Not only because it is cheap, compared to those designed by famous manufacturers, but also because it is solar-powered and this makes it an environment friendly gadget. A European technology company which is known as iUnika has just announced a solar-powered netbook, called GYY. It is possible for the device to be the world’s first of this kind, because I haven’t heard about anything similar so far. Anyway, it is energy efficient and very light, and it’s more than enough, right? But the main disadvantage is that, being eco-friendly, the netbook isn’t too… advanced, if I may say so, when it comes to its features. Therefore, here’s what you can expect of it: 128MB of RAM, 64GB SSD drive, a 400MHz processor, a 8-inch WVGA screen with a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels and an operating system which is said to be a “proprietary version of Linux”. The advantage, on the other hand, is that it will be a cheap netbook that is expected to become available sometimes in June, in Europe only (for the moment, at least), for no more than 160 Euros.

I would prefer to sit in the shade with the computer while the panels were out in the full sun extending battery life. It makes more sense to me to have solar panels separate from the netbook.
