QuickerTek is a company from Kansas, specialized in antennas and RF
Products for Apple Mac devices, and has announced a new useful product for the MacBook Air.
It is a solar laptop charger coming in 3 versions with a sporty bag fitting the world’s thinnest notebook.
Apple Juicz is a green product saving the energy and comes in 18-Watt, 27-Watt and 55-Watt foldable solar panels. It charges the MacBook Air during sunlight when you are near a window at the office, at home, or in a park. You can choose from the 3 solar cell panel types to power the laptop in 14 hours, 8 hours or just 5 hours, and these feature the following dimensions when unfolded: 30.5 x 30 inches, 41.5 x 30.5 inches and 60 x 42 inches respectively.
Basically, to power and charge the laptop’s battery, the photovoltaic cells made of semiconductors convert the sunlight into electricity by absorbing the light and free electrons on a certain direction using metal contacts placed on the cells.
The only uncomfortable thing with Apple Juicz is maybe the price which seems a bit high for a solar laptop charger, but taking into account the fact that they are 100% green products and that the laptop uses a non-removable battery. The 18-Watt model costs $500, the 27-Watt is available at $600 while the 55-Watt panel costs $1,000.
Watching the LED status indicator you can see when the MacBook Air is fully charged, and the Element carry bag is practical and protective in the same time.
Included in the set you receive also the adapters for cars and airlines.
