Product on Review: Arctic Cooling ARCTIC C1 Mobile USB Charger with Solar Panel
Manufacturer and Sponsor: ARCTIC COOLING
MSRP: 16,95 € / US$ 24.60
Street Price: Unknown
As you may have noticed in Vortez Harware’s recent review on the ARCTIC C2, Arctic Cooling has expanded into power products, such as USB chargers and rechargeable batteries. Given the fact that Arctic Cooling has always been oriented towards computer cooling devices, it is interesting to see the Swiss company expand their product line-up into areas that you would least expect.
On April 1st 2010, Arctic Cooling announced the ARCTIC C1 Mobile, a mobile universal charger with solar panel. Basically, the ARCTIC C1 Mobile is a USB charger with portability in mind. It charges a single USB device at a time with its integrated 4440mAh lithium-ion battery which holds about twice the charge of a typical AA rechargeable battery such as the Sanyo Eneloop. Although the ARCTIC C1 Mobile can be charged through its USB port, the device stays true to portability by sporting a small 80mA solar panel. In other words, the device can be charged when direct sunlight is shone onto it.
With so many modern portable devices available today, you can easily imagine an incident where one of your device's battery would drain in the middle of your trip and there was no way for you to power it on the spot. If your device recharges through USB but no power outlet is available, the ARCTIC C1 Mobile might be the perfect item for you. Indeed, the ARCTIC C1 Mobile seems to be a great companion for any tech savvy on the go with his or her mobile devices such as mobiles phones, media players, portable game consoles, smart phones, etc.
Remembering that the ARCTIC C2 fared very well in its review, expectations are high for the ARCTIC C1 Mobile. Is it worth your hard-earned money? Read on as the ARCTIC C1 Mobile will be examined in detail.
