Do you take your laptop camping with you? Or live in fear of a blackout? Either way, Earthtech Products is offering a solution: a combined Solar Laptop Charger and Portable Power Kit. The foldable solar panel takes about 11-12 hours to charge the 300W PowerPack, which can then provide up to six hours of laptop runtime. Ahh, clean energy.

And it's not just for laptops, of course; according to the website, PowerPack can run a "hand-held blender"--one can only imagine why you need to do this in an emergency-or jump-start a car. Excellent. Other uses come to mind: charging cameras or cell phones, for example.

All for only $478.95.
