Samsung’s NP-NC215-A01US, the first solar-powered netbook, is now available on the US market.
Featuring solar cells on its lid, the NC215 is able to provide an extra hour of operation if you charge it in direct sunlight for two hours. That’s a nice addition to netbook’s standard 6-cell battery.
Internal components are pretty much like in any other 10.1-inch Intel Atom N570-powered netbook. Besides the dual-core 1.5GHz CPU with integrated graphics, you’ll get 1GB of RAM and a 250GB hard drive with Windows 7 Starter OS.
The 2.9-pound NP-NC215-A01US has a silver palm rest, a black chiclet keyboard, butlt-in webcam, and Bluetooth 3.0.
It can be found for about $400 at various retailers.
