Not only does Voltaic make some sharp-looking computer bags, their new design -- the Generator -- is a first. The company has developed small solar panels that are strong enough to charge your laptop, as well as cell phones and other electronics.
And they don't stop being green there. The fabric (which comes in four colors) is made from recycled soda bottles. It does add some weight -- 4.5 pounds -- and it's not cheap -- $599. But you may consider it a small price to pay (and lug) for such a big environmental plus. Available this spring.
