Samsung NC215S solar netbook delayed, won't see sunlight until August
By Christopher Trout posted Jul 12th 2011 6:53PM
Well, that didn't take long. The sun's only set once since we reported Samsung's solar NC215S netbook was up for pre-order and we're already getting word that it's been delayed. Despite earlier estimates of a July 3rd US shipping date, Liliputing is now saying that the solar-powered laptop won't make it to consumers until sometime in mid to late August, due to hold ups involving the machine's custom panels. Here's hoping this doesn't spoil anyone's plans to journey out of the house this summer.

Looks like we're about to see the first laptop the size of a '68 VeeDub.

Why bother? The screen cant be seen in bright son anyway. Put a microchip on a meadow muffin and some schmuck will buy it.

My understanding is that the screen is in Braille.

I had to look up meadow muffin.
Where can I find one with a microchip?

Send me the microchip and I'll install it for twenty bucks plus postage.

I had a cat named Mellow Muffin back in Berzerkeley in 1970. Her nickname was 'Nuclear Device.'. Damn I loved that cat.
