Toshiba have unwrapped a marvelous new piece of technology that they have named SCiB, which stands for Super Charge ion Battery. According to Toshiba, it takes just ten minutes to charge the SCiB to 90% capacity. Meld that with some ultra-long-life performance and you get a laptop that needs to spend very little of its time shackled by cables. [Aving]

[...] Imagine this — you, sitting in a dingy airport terminal waiting on your flight with a lifeless laptop and just 10 minutes to spare.
