I just thought I would let you know that the power gorilla and solar gorilla will actually charge a Macbook. However, you do have to purchase an Apple Magsafe Airline Adapter to connect the charger to your Macbook.
Cheers!

I bought the Solar Gorilla for use in an extremely sunny location in North India. The Solar Gorilla has NEVER been able to charge any iPhone, even under optimal conditions. I have an iPhone 4, two colleagues have iPhone 3Gs. When a friend brought us a Power Gorilla, we discovered that we CAN charge the POwer G with the SOlar G, then recharge from the Power G. But it is simply misleading to say that the Solar G will charge an iPhone. If you aren't buying both Solar and Power G, then don't expect the Solar G to do you any good with Apple phones.

Q: Will the gorilla charge the battery with the MagSafe Airline Adapter? As on apples site it states
"Using the MagSafe Airline Adapter provides power for your computer but does not charge the battery"
A: Hi, Powertraveller, the manufacturers of the Solar Gorilla have the following on their website: "The solargorilla is compatible with Apple Mac laptops using the MagSafe type connector. You will need to purchase the Apple MagSafe Airline Adaptor, however this will only allow your Mac to be powered from the solargorilla - this is a limitation with the Apple cable, not the solargorilla."
Hope that helps. Robyn.

Q: I have an HP Laptop (HP/ Compaq NC 6000) and I would like to use The Solar Gorilla do you think will it work? Secondly: Does your Gorilla give enough energy to use as powerstation directly for the laptop, (not for battery charging)?
I look forward your answer, before I am gonna buy.
Cheers
Chriscross
A: Hi, the Solar Gorilla Laptop Charger is suitable for HP computers and comes complete with the adapter for it.
The Solar Gorilla will charge a laptop directly, but only when there is sufficient sunlight. It's best to partner the Solar Gorilla with the Power Gorilla which can store energy and charge gadgets simultaneously.
I hope this helps.
Robyn.
