As to the power capabilities, you can get solar charges that can power a laptop for under $300 and under 2lbs. So I am excited that people are starting to realize it's a better way to enjoy your same "luxuries" like cell phones and ipods. Like <a>Solar Laptop Chargers</A>.I will be first in line once the electric car is perfected. Portable solar device have come a long way in portability and price.

It's highly unlikely that your laptop uses that little power. Typically your laptop pulls 50-90W, so you're looking at 1.5-3 hours of run time...That Zonbu computer looks really cool. It'd be really slow and have little storage and no internal DVD player and cost you $225/yr in service plans, but still, I like it. :) And it uses only 15W-- just as much as my Wii, which uses 10% what the Xbox 360 or PS3 require.
