It's a good gadget in term of technology but not in term of business. However, they might have target group that I don't know. I agree with Hai Vu.

I don't see any value a solar charger provide me. It could make sense for other people. Speaking of charger, I used to use a charger, which really is a universal battery that connects to a wide range of laptops and devices. The battery was not bulky, but heavy. It also means I had to carry extra cable and tip. It was not a good experience. If I want extra power, I might as well by a second battery and put up with the inconvenience of 1) hibernate the laptop, 2) replace battery, and 3) power it back up.
