PolyFuel has just unveiled a prototype Lenovo T40 ThinkPad that does not run on standard batteries, instead it relies on a small notebook-class fuel cell instead. According to PolyFuel, this fuel cell offers the ability to run continuously as you are able to change tiny methanol cartridges on-the-fly. PolyFuel is currently looking into the viability of notebook manufacturers integrating it into their future products, although that will still take quite some time to come. The positive environmental impact is almost immediate - you'll have less headache trying to figure out how to dispose of the dead batteries.
