QuickerTek announces solar chargers for Apple MacBooks


QuickerTek announced four new solar chargers for Apple's MacBook Air and 15/13-inch MacBook Pro. There are two similar configurations for each 27 Watt and 55 Watt chargers.

These two plug-and-play solar power options are ready to use right from the box - complete with a Magsafe 2 power cable, Apple Charger, cigarette lighter connector, as well as the QuickerTek Little Black Box rechargeable external battery product for USB charging and finally a QuickerTek tote bag to make the user's mobile experience fast and easy. Like QuickerTek's external battery products, these solar power systems also power and charge simultaneously - providing a huge benefit to MacBook users who are in and (way) out of the home and/or office.


So, if you're going off the grid, this could be an interesting option if you must use a laptop. Supported models are the recent MacBook Air (11 and 13-inch), MacBook Pro (13 and 15-inch) and the 15-inch MacBook Pro w/ Retina Display.

Pricing is about $700 for the 27 Watt model and $1200 for the 55 Watt.
