Envision that you are in a remote field somewhere with your laptop, perhaps rocking out to some tunes on your headphones or studying the surrounding area and inputting data about that into your computer. You notice the power is about to give way and you don’t have another battery on you. One solution at this point might be to bring out your GoBe mostly portable power solution.

The GoBe system consists of a briefcase like product which can be folded open to collect solar energy through its built-in solar panels. This Solar Briefcase is in turn hooked up to the Power Hub, which is essentially a big battery in a case which sports AC and DC outputs for powering devices like your laptop for an extended amount of time. The Power Hub can also be plugged into a standard home outlet for charging if you really need that. The reason, by the way, that we say mostly portable above is that these two devices in tandem have a little bit of weight to them.
