Sol -- $300 Solar-Powered Laptop

           The usual problem that arises for a laptop is its power but this won't be a problem any longer for users of a new and cheap solar-powered laptop. Meet Sol, a laptop that was built for costs instead of high speed usage. The laptop features a 1.86 Ghz dual-core processor, an Intel Atom, 320 gigabytes of space, and 2 to 4 gigabytes of RAM. The display, inputs and outputs are standard, including a cellular modem, GPS, and Bluetooth 4.0 built in along with standard wifi.
           The upside with Sol is that when laptops get rusted over the years, Sol keeps on working, which is actually rare for an affordable laptop costing $300 (and has many different varieties of colors to choose from). Sol also obtains its power by the solar panels that unfold at the back of the computer. 2 hours in the sun, on average, means 8-10 hours of time using the computer uninterrupted. This can actually help those, who are in third-world countries, which have infrastructure problems.
