Mark Wilson from Gizmodo.com writes his opinion on the PSP solar charger:
When we first laid eyes on this PSP solar charger, we thought it looked pretty sweet. Seemingly attaching to the outside casing of your PSP, two solar panels could recharge our handhelds while we played endlessly on sunny days as we wasted our life away in hammock bliss. For $28.76, that deal didn't sound bad at all.
And then we remembered. You can't play the PSP in the sun. The screen isn't bright enough to counteract all that unlimited free energy.
Avoid overspending on NVIDIA's 40 series GPUs, and purchase the powerful PNY GeForce RTX 3080 10GB Graphics Card at its lowest price ever!

Im old school... when i hear the term SLI, I immediately think of 3dfx. I still have a pair of 12mb Monster V2's in an old rig. I never tried out the more modern take on SLI or Crossfire for that matter.
I mean, it was mostly for bragging rights. It was a very temperamental tech that improved with newer iterations, for sure. But folks like myself, who have used it, probably recall that troubleshooting was an integral part of the experience and the value that you got out of the setup was really low.
However, none of that mattered because it looked sick as hell on a well-built PC.
I remember doing my research at the time 😂 I got 2 GTX 460's, as they in SLI were meant to be better than the 480 at the time. Not all games were optimised at the time, which meant some games meant setting them up for 1 card alone. Never forget the time I came home from night shift, turned on my computer like normal, went and made a cuppa, come back and it was still off. Tried to turn on again, and one of the 460's caught fire... good times.
If you're after a powerful midrange processor for your gaming rig, this AMD Ryzen CPU could be your best bet now that it's 35% off.
This seems like a pretty good idea but i thought the point of this was to charge it in the sun light and then play it elsewhere. but still a pretty good idea.

oops double post sry =)
actually it doesn't miss the point because solar energy doesn't just come from the sun- solar panels can make regular light into electricity so if your in a well-lit area this could be useful
It looks like, in that pic anyway, that the panels face downward...this would mean that you would not use the solar panels to charge while playing but to charge while not playing. For this i think its a great idea. If your traveling or something, you don't need to pack all the crap to keep it charged.
