The article discusses innovative technology designs that initially appear impractical but can eventually revolutionize their fields. It highlights historic examples, such as the Wright Brothers' airplane and the Apple Newton. The focus then shifts to the Lenovo Yoga Solar PC, a solar-powered laptop designed to enhance the productivity of creative professionals. Despite its promise to charge quickly in sunlight, the article raises doubts about the practicality of using a laptop outdoors, questioning whether such a design effectively responds to user needs and working environments.
In 1903, I'm sure most people mistook the Wright Brother's heap of canvas, rubber and whirring metal blades for an elaborate practical joke.
Now, we have Lenovo announcing a brand new concept - the Yoga Solar PC - that it hopes will revolutionise the workflow of the modern creative professional.
The Lenovo Yoga model has a solar panel on it, and if you leave it in the sun, it promises to charge an hour's worth of use in 20 minutes.
Also, if you're working remotely and need to charge your lappy, there's already a perfect solution: that's literally why god made cafés.
