laptop junkies are also juice freaks.
No, I do not mean slushies or smoothies. I am referring to the constant need for electricity to power up their laptops wherever they go. Let’s face it, even with 8-cell batteries, at some point in the day you will have to look for an electrical outlet to charge your laptop if you are a heavy user. Unfortunately, free outlets could be hard to come by especially if you are always on the go. Because of this, most laptop users look for alternative power sources for their gizmos. One of the first popular alternatives was the Solio Charger, which was not only functional — it actually looked good, too. But even with a successful design, a product still needs to evolve to capture a larger share of the market, and this is where the Hybrid1000 comes in. This product is a more rugged version of the Solio Charger — and it really takes its outdoors look seriously. It comes with a weatherproof case and is said to withstand hard drops (but, really, does anyone really test if an expensive product is “drop-proof”?).
