    OK...we just spent a week with the MBP-100 and it is freakin' amazing!

    Never had we been able to just work and work and work...without having to look for an AC outlet!

    Two questions - 1) Will it fit into a pair of sweatpants? 2) Does Etsy have a design for sweatpants capable of holding it?


    Because Blam's TOTALLY going to want this for LiveBlogs.

    Doesn't the giantness of this notebook peripheral kindof defeat the notebook's purpose of portability?

    @Solertia: That sure looks like it would still fit in a backback to me. It's still more portable than a desktop for sure.

    You know what I want? I want just ONE giant capacity external battery that can serve ALL my devices. I mean, make it so that I can run both my phone and my laptop, not just for hours or even days, but like weeks, man, weeks.


    Now I realize this would necessitate a big battery cell, but no problem. Just disguise it within, say, an Abraham Lincoln-style stovepipe hat, or maybe inside a wig like Debbie Harry wore in the original Hairspray (swapping, of course, the bomb with the battery). Add a simple power cable running down your neck and through your sleeve--voila, an elegant and fashion-forward solution if I ever heard of one!



    Sure, sure, laugh at me now, clowns, but wait until I end up with the patent and you're all paying the royalties that buy my yacht.

    i rather just have one mega-super battery that's built within the form factor of a laptop,and or other electronics, but is also detachable, but that seems like a lot to ask

    $500 for a battery and $150 for a car charger what are these people smoking? I'm sure they will sell some. I work in the field with computers and we use car batteries.


    Although since its targeted at Mac users who often seem to be unaware that there are other options for most of their problems. I'm sure they'll sell some.


    And yes I own a mac but I don't drink the kool aid.

    @sea_alex: In your opinion, which is the best external power supply to tote around with a laptop? I don't think I can fit a car battery in my computer bag :P

    @Kaiser-Machead: $150 for a car charger is probably not worth it. You can get a DC to AC power inverter a lot cheaper than that.

    @ripfire: My interest's in the external battery pack, not the charger. I found a 130Wh example that runs for $300 though. These things are definitely not cheap, no matter where you look.
