The Cobra CPP 50

The ultraportable CPP 50 is the smallest of the three chargers. It is not a solar-powered charger and relies only on its internal 5,000mAh battery.

The Cobra CPP 100

CPP 100 is made out of plastic and is relatively lightweight. It has solar panels on one side, and features a battery indicator and a narrow green handle up top so it can be attached easily to your backpack or bag.

More panels, more power

This body design increases its ability to draw in solar power, shortening the amount of time it takes to charge itself.

Triple the charging

The device is decked out with two USB outputs, as well as two attached cables for a USB and MicroUSB connection, meaning that it can charge up to three handsets at a time.

Cords that tuck in

When not in use, the cords tuck neatly into the body of the device. The 100 and 300 will be available in February and will cost $49.95, and $79.95, respectively. In April, the CPP 50 will go on sale for $39.95.

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.
