Buy solar table from Amazon Cyber Monday and Black Friday Now
 
I don’t know what the weather in your neck of the woods is like, but here in Texas it's hot (hot, hot, hot) so the odds of me being outside are slim. Once it starts to cool off though I like to go outside and work occasionally.

The catch is that my laptop doesn't stay charged long. The SunTable looks like a table, but it is covered with solar panels to gather juice for your gadgets. The frame is made of teak wood and the table claims it can recharge a laptop in four hours.

I will say this, I have laid my hand on small solar chargers before when they were outside, and they are hot. I'm not sure you would want to sit at a table covered in solar panels. I have to wonder how sturdy the table top is.
