Autofocus

Turn the Solar on and it automatically focuses. No zoom or lens shift, though.

About a foot

On the bottom there's a pivoting foot that lets you angle the Solar upward for more placement options.

Battery-powered

Inside is a 20,000-mAh battery that's good for about 3 hours of play time.

BT

You can also use the Solar as a Bluetooth speaker, though in that area and most others, Anker's own Mars II Pro is better.

Mounted

There's also a standard tripod mount, which is a nice addition.

Connections

The USB-C port is for charging while you can use the other USB port to power something like a streaming stick or to recharge your phone.

Remote

Not backlit, but a button takes you directly to the settings, which isn't bad. Check out our full Anker Nebula Solar Portable review for more details.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
