Designer Andrea Ponti has created a solar-powered laptop with multiple charging points for the Fujitsu design competition ‘A Life With Future Computing.’ The Luce concept laptop is completely wireless, drawing its energy solely from the sun with its two solar panels.
Luce has solar panels on both the back of its display and on its keyboard letting you absorb double the sunlight ensuring that you will almost never run out of battery. This design perfectly fits the mission of the contest which seeks to find the computer of the future. The biggest thing going for this design is that it is not overly complicated. It doesn’t seem all that impossible to install two solar panels on a laptop. Make it happen, Fujitsu.
