The obvious one, that is using a compretely detached solar power
unit.  This solution should go with any laptop.  I have personally
used a solar panel for Zenith Z-181 at my summer cottage where we
have a 12VD solar power unit with an accumulator in between for many
puposes.  But then, its not portable any more.  But there are
currently also some farily portable detached solar panels available.
