Using fuel cell technology, Samsung was able to build a dock that could power a notebook for a full month.  Sign me up for one of these. 

Fuel cell-based notebooks are nothing new to frequent readers of DailyTech. In early June, we reported on Toshiba’s early efforts with a fuel cell notebook dock that was able to power a Portege notebook for 10 hours. In October, the company showed off an updated version of its fuel cell dock — this time with a smaller fuel cell stack that was confined within the footprint of the host notebook.

Samsung is taking fuel cell technology for notebooks to the next level by showcasing a new DMFC (Direct Methanol Fuel Cell) dock that can power a Q35 ultraportable notebook for 8 hours a day for a full month. According to Samsung press release, the fuel cell has an energy density of 650Wh/L and total energy storage of 1,200Wh.
