Samsung NC215S solar netbook will see the sunshine of day in Russia

Anyone who’s ever attempted to apply a laptop on a sunny summer day can surely let you know that direct sunlight will not be your friend — that’s why we love to ride out the season in our dark basement apartments. If only there have been the way to harness the sun’s rays for good, rather than evil — like powering your PC when you are off doing whatever it’s miles that standard people do when it’s sunny outside. First introduced for the African market, Samsung’s NC215S would be hitting Russia in early August for 13,999 rubles ($479). The netbook sports a lid almost entirely monopolized by a solar panel , which contributes to an overall estimated battery lifetime of 14.5 hours. The NC215S packs a 1.6GHz N570 Intel Atom dual-core processor, 250GB of storage, and 1GB of RAM right into a 2.9 pound frame. It’s almost enough to make us wish to venture out into the daylight. Almost.
